So I thought uncovering the coast was probably a good idea, but it turns out I'm (again) not as good at fog-reading as I thought... No trees to the NW, but no land either! Anyway I'd suggest going this way next turn:
On those two hammers - if they aren't down the back of the sofa then I guess that's a t37 settler (city founded t39?). What turn does he come out with only one worker?

I agree with that scouting direction.

A wolf! I think that decides it, we're heading for the hills...
And there's that bear that I warned you about! What say we take some more evasive action? This is to a flatland forest, or NE-E gets us to a hill forest. Unless you want to follow the bear?
dtay spent no EPs on us, so he's got at least one other contact. Also the farm completes next turn.

I like NE-E for the hill vision! And then some kind of bear evasion moves towards SE.. 
Thousand thanks Harry for doing C&D and reports! My RL is currently just more hectic than I would like it to be, which unfortunately reflects in my contribution.  Damn I should better get one proper sandboxing session in before it's too late!
Re Sandboxing:
Current results are
1. settler eot35 with one worker
2. settler eot37 with two workers
both options come with work bot and a warrior. And both options get capital to size 3 eot38 IIRC. The 2nd city will be founded thus on T37 or T39.
But in order to decide what's best plan I should really sim it until T50. When I look at our demos and recognize the diversity of e.g. PB9 starts I really doubt that our 2 sea food start is too shiny and I doubt we will look good during the first 80 turns. Therefore we really need to micro this so that we get to e.g. 5 cities in a fluent and effective way, and that's complex!  I hope this game won't get too far until the next weekend!

Is 3E of current scout position a hill tile? If so I think it would be better to move 2NE as Old Harry suggests - more tiles revealed over two turns, I think.
An extra worker for only two turns' difference in settling time, no other cost sounds good to me.

I'll check tomorrow morning, but I think I'd rather end up on a forest hill for relative safety at this point... In my sandbox there are a lot of bears around at this point in time!

Agree on this, and it sounded like the third city got set up quicker for FT with the extra worker chopping everything in sight.
A note on dtay - he started with Hunting/Mining and I believe went BW first, then popped another tech from a hut on t15. I think he'll have pig or sheep at his cap to have taken that tech path. Jealous.

And another turn? Cripes... It looks like Slowcheetah (SPI/IND Mongolia) or Jowy (FIN/EXP India) (the black sword) got Hinduism - if it was Slow he'll revolt to it this turn, and he might just be going for the Oracle? Anyway this is our neighbourhood.
Finished the farm and Agincourt will grow in two turns.
I moved the scout for max safety and aha, floodplains! I'd like to get a view from the desert hill SE of Lunch, but I dunno where that bear went, so what do you think of this for the next scouting move? I think circling around to the south east again would be good, as long as we can continue to avoid bears...

I love the crazy tilts you always set the screenshots to. I agree with that scouting move.

Posting on behalf of Harry:
Turn 20
We got some t0 land points this turn. I'll see if I can work out who
settled on the coast or inland when I get a minute. Moving to the
desert hill doesn't reveal much of consequence. Except that this
mountain has trees on top of it, is that another sign of
hand-madeness?
So I think the lie of the land is like this, G means grass, P plains,
F forest, M mountain and J jungle. If we move to the red dot the two
grass hills and the desert hill become visible, we might see where the
bear went and then stay in place or move S or SE. Pink is also an
option, but I'm less keen. Blue I don't like at all.

If we find copper on the hill by the corn that gets us the extra two hammers for the settler...
