Sign in to join the discussionI would bring a learner's view of quiet viewpoints. Would you ask before proposing a workaround for somebody's access need?
Reply to Naomi van Dooren
Yes. A suggestion is not a solution unless it actually works for the person. I should ask rather than congratulate myself on the idea. I cannot ignore the fact that I cannot commit to every week.

Could someone join for only the first part? I would not want to disrupt the plan by leaving early. My plan has to fit this: I prefer daytime meetups close to home.
Reply to Naomi van Dooren
I hear the reservation. I am not asking you to commit just by replying. With quiet viewpoints, I am comfortable with the basics. I would plan a natural stopping point and say clearly which parts depend on everybody staying. Leaving should not become a personal explanation.

I would also like to compare two coastal routes by distance and facilities. For me, I prefer daytime meetups close to home.
Reply to Naomi van Dooren
That gives us two related aims to compare. I would like to compare two coastal routes by distance and facilities. This is why I am keeping the plan modest: I cannot commit to every week.

My own aim is to compare two coastal routes by distance and facilities. Which part of your plan could we compare without assuming they are the same activity?
Reply to Naomi van Dooren
I would protect the time together in “Share something I learn about quiet viewpoints”. The exact result matters less to me than an arrangement people can enjoy without pressure.

文龍 楊, keep the small version.

For this wish, Naomi van Dooren: That seems a sensible way to continue. We can compare actual attempts later without turning this conversation into a promise that either of us has already finished. The help I would value is a welcoming local recommendation.
