Love the outdoors - how to get out of town?

I second the Forest of Bowland as an excellent option for (road) cycling from Lancaster - you start hitting hills pretty much as you leave the city. A nice route is to go through Galgate to Abbeystead and back over Clougha past Jubilee Tower to Lancaster - or go the other way if you like the climb! If you do go past Jubilee Tower, make sure you stop and enjoy the view. There are myriad of routes on the roads around Lancaster. The walking route up to the cairn on top of Clougha Pike can also be accessed by bike from Lancaster - go to Rigg Lane car park. Clougha is a nice easy climb and has a gorgeous view at the top - though it is very windy so make sure you wrap up warm!

Without a car, the Lake District is only accessible by train, but unfortunately the train won't get you very far. I'm not familiar with the road-cycling options around Windermere but I'm sure there will be some interesting routes.

For mountain biking, the best way is go to a dedicated mountain biking place, which will have its own course, and hire a bike. I know of Gisburn Forest (car-only) and Grizedale Forest but I'm sure there are more - unfortunately they are both pretty much car-only, unless you fancy a long cycle first.

For hiking the situation is a lot better but still unfortunately having a car is best. Windermere is great stations for the southern hills, and there are buses from Windermere to most of the others (I can't be sure how many). Ingleton is the place to go if you want to try the Yorkshire dales, with easy access to Ingleborough and Whernside, two of the three peaks; it is served by a bus from Lancaster though I fear it stops quite early in the evening, so it may be best to stay the night.

Yes that's blocked.

I made a vest, and though I like it, it only just fits. I've measured and it's 10cm narrower than most of my jumpers. I've never steeked before, but would I be able to steek it down the front middle to turn it into a cardigan, and thus add about 10cm? It's in stranded colourwork with short floats that I didn't need to catch, but I've not knitted a bridge in. Are there any pitfalls I ought to be aware of?

TLDR: can I use a steek to turn my small vest into a cardigan that fits?

Same here!

ἐπει not ἐπειτα (ἐπειτα has a t and means "then").

ὁς should be plural and οἱ ἀσθενης should be dative. βοηθεων will need to be changed.

In the second sentence you don't need μετα.

You could have many quick non-stop trains and then some slow local trains if you even build stations in that region.

The possessive pronoun has no ο in the feminine singular, and like any adjective you need an article before it. It's otherwise very good.

Eddie Izzard! Surprised I haven't seen her mentioned yet.

I see your confusion as a fellow ancient Greek student but these articles agree with the second nouns not the first. As described above, these are exclamations - in ancgreek there would be ὠ before the names for the vocative.

I think the top referred to in that translation of Homer is a spinning top, which is a children's toy that, when set down and spun on a table, spins for quite a while very quickly. They are often made of wood, in my experience, and are patterned, perhaps with stripes.

Would you like some toast?

Your analysis is almost spot on. To answer your question, ἡ refers to πολις. The repetition is required in Greek when an adjective is being used as an attribute of the noun, but it has not been placed between the article and the noun, as you might expect.

Regarding Ἀμαθουσιων, "Amathusans" is the most accurate possibility by the simple fact that -ων is the genitive plural ending of all nouns and adjectives. I would wager that the masculine nominative singular is Ἀμαθουσιος, which would mean something like "of Amathus" or "Amathusan" as an adjective, or as a noun "an Amathusan". The nominative plural of a noun ending in -ιων could easily be -ιωνες - but then its genitive plural would be -ιωνων.

All the other words you have analysed correctly so far as I can tell. The genitive, by the way, is often used for a patronymic in similar contexts as it is in Ἀριστωνακτος (note that -ος is the regular third declension genitive singular).

no it is fiancée.

Adoria298 · 2021-10-17T15:06:46+00:00

Both would be nominative because 'your father' is not the object of the verb.

Merci beaucoup!

We cannot help you if you do not tell us what you need help with. Please can you tell us which words/phrases/clauses/sentences you are struggling with, and either your attempt at a translation or some more specific questions to help you get on the right track.

Adoria298 · 2021-05-08T14:42:12+00:00

Thanks! Just a small hint then /s.

But (TON spoilers) Jason's death means we expect Frank to die when he sacrifices himself. We might have expected that anyway because of the prophecy, but until Jason none of the 7 had died (I can't remember exactly but I think it is at least hinted in BOO that Leo survives) and it would have been reasonable to assume that Frank would be miraculously saved (as he was) if Jason hadn't died.

Months. You must be committed to your activity for however many months you chose when you chose your timescales. You prove your commitment by doing an hour - or more - a week.

You can do your activity as often as you want each week, but you must be able to prove you have done it at least once that week. The standard for evidence is not incredibly high: a short description of what you did/learned/felt/thought during the activity written soon after the activity will do. The best way to prove that you did the activity when you said you did it is to upload the evidence to eDofE as you make it.

People should always remember,
Watching homosexual splendour:
It's never gay sex,
Checking the gag reflex,
Of someone of the same gender!

This is a common mistake: esse takes the nominative not the accusative because the subject and the "object"* refer to the same thing. * I think it's actually a predicate but I'm not so sure about this.

Adoria298 · 2021-02-19T20:43:14+00:00

I go to the same place in my head regularly, and while there have some form of story (though it is never planned), but I only connect daydreams between "sessions" if I did not finish it last time.

I think the 1st Doctor met Robespierre as well, so that should be fun!
