HOME/PRIVACY DECK

Use the tools. Keep what they make. Leave the archive where it is.

This is a static site. It sets no cookies of its own, runs no advertising and holds no user accounts. The few third parties involved—Cloudflare as host and proxy, Google for fonts and embedded maps, and Web3Forms for the newsletter form—are named plainly below.

01 / THE SHORT VERSION

Three sentences, then the detail.

Everything the calculators, the trip engines and the field logs produce is yours — it is computed on your own device, stored only there, and never sent anywhere. Read the site, quote it with a link, crawl it, learn from how it works. What is not on offer is the wholesale reproduction of the archives themselves: the 354 British and 2,333 European Matrix entries, the expedition day plans and the written transmissions took a long time to research and they are the point of the thing.

02 / WHAT IS YOURS

Anything you make with it.

YOUR OUTPUTKEEP IT

Plans, exports and cards

Trip plans, calendar files, share links, exported field logs, the Traveller's Card and the Continental Card. Yours to keep, print, post and use commercially if you want to. No attribution required.

YOUR DATAYOUR DEVICE

Nothing leaves

Your van profile, your field log, your ranks and medals live in your own browser's storage. There is no account, no server copy and no way for anyone here to see them — which also means clearing your browser data deletes them, and only you can back them up.

QUOTINGWELCOME

With a link

Quote a passage, cite a figure, screenshot a panel, link to a file. That is what it is for. Attribution and a link back is all that is asked, and it applies equally to people and to machines.

THE APPROACHTAKE IT

Ideas are not owned

A rarity ladder, a month scrubber, a driving profile drawn from day plans, an archive that refuses to invent a figure it has not checked. Read how it is done and build your own. Techniques are not owned. The archive is.

03 / WHAT IS NOT ON OFFER

The archives, in bulk.

Copying the Matrix entries, the day plans, the sea-temperature anchors or the written guides wholesale — into another site, a product, a dataset or an app — is not permitted, in whole or in substantial part. The same goes for republishing the code as your own.

This is not a technicality about scraping. The archives are researched item by item and dated, and that work is the difference between this and a generated list. If you want to use a meaningful chunk of it for something, ask — [email protected] — the answer is often yes.

04 / CRAWLERS AND AI

Come in. Cite properly.

Nothing here blocks crawlers and nothing is intended to. Search engines, archives and AI systems are welcome to crawl, index, quote and summarise the site, subject to robots.txt. There is an llms.txt written specifically to make that easier and more accurate.

What is asked in return is the ordinary courtesy: attribute, link, and do not present the archives as your own or reproduce them entire. If a figure from here is quoted, quote it with its qualification — most of them have one, and the qualifications are the honest part.

05 / THE HONEST DISCLAIMER

Planned, not driven.

Every expedition file in both archives is planned rather than driven, and says so on its own page. The routes are researched from maps, published sources and operator timetables. They are not a record of journeys already made, and they are not navigation.

Sea temperatures, daylight figures, driving hours, Schengen counts, payload maths and off-grid endurance are computed or quoted from named sources with the date they were checked. They are good enough to plan with and not good enough to bet your safety on. Check tides, weather, access rights, border and vehicle requirements, and your own plated weights yourself. Nothing here is navigational, legal, financial, veterinary or safety advice.

If you find something wrong, say so and it gets fixed and dated — [email protected]. Several things in this archive exist in their current form because someone pointed out that the first version was wrong.

06 / WHO AND WHERE

The formal bit.

This site and its archives are copyright © 2026 Journeys of the Nebuchadnezzar. All rights reserved except as set out above. The repository carries a matching LICENSE file saying the same thing in the form a code host expects.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. They may change; the version you are reading is the one that applies, and material changes get a line in what's new. Contact: [email protected].

Nothing on this page is legal advice, including this page.

FOUND THIS USEFUL?

Buy the crew a coffee, if you’d be so kind.

Everything here is free and always will be — the expedition files, the Nature Matrix, the seven calculators and the Trip Engine. Nothing sits behind a paywall, and nothing unlocks if you pay.

But if a file saved you a wasted weekend, or the Matrix put a puffin in front of your children, you are very welcome to stand us a coffee. It goes on diesel, ferries and the next expedition — which comes back up here, free, for you.

Entirely optional. One payment, never a subscription — and you can set any number up to ten at the checkout if you are feeling especially kind. No perks, no supporter tier, and absolutely no hard feelings either way.
