In Tanzania's northern savannahs with a Playdate console for company

Trivia time. Did you know, there's no precise definition of a tree. All sorts of distantly related plants can be trees if they stump for it. Grasses, ferns, or really anything with a trunk and a dream. Scientists have tried to impose some rules on the chaos. But, basically, if it looks like a tree, and it's big enough and sturdy enough then, sure, let's call it a tree. Baobab trees, I suspect, tow the line.

Unfortunately, gaming and fieldwork don't readily mix. The Tanzanian wilderness, with its stunning scenery, doesn't lack much, but it does lack plug sockets. This is an impediment for gaming in so many ways, not least because there's nowhere to power your RGB light strips. I suppose the easiest solution is to take a break. Crack a book; touch grass; digitally detox.

The Playdate! You know the one. The custard yellow hipster console that looks like a Beemo from Adventure Time.And it seems perfect, doesn't it? It ticks every box. The battery lasts days. The monochrome screen sips power. It's thin, it's light, and it'll slot into any pocket of any rucksack with room to spare. Also, might I add, it looks supremely photogenic juxtaposed against a backdrop of baobabs. So I left ChrisMiles of rolling wilderness and not a plug socket in sight.
