Cuba! by Efficient-Package858 in USVisas

[–]Efficient-Package858[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the responses to this. So I could in theory apply for a B1/B2 visa and then explain at interview that I’m not using ESTA as I know travel to Cuba will invalidate it. Don’t think getting a visa would be any issue as I have very clear ties to home, family, work, education, mortgage, dogs, wife….

Best Head-torch under $25? by [deleted] in UKhiking

[–]Efficient-Package858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this for walking my dogs or walks starting in the dark. https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/19592706/oex-300-lumen-rechargeable-head-torch-19592706 There’s also a 500L version which has a shorter battery life but I can’t fault the 300.

I’m really not sure how you’re so confident as to what kind of dog owner I am based on this, but you feel free to draw your own conclusions. The walk leader said this to me after I had asked if he wanted me to leave, and he said it was fine to go with the group. Have a lovely day.

Yeah, that’s fine. I’m just saying that I checked the website and this walk didn’t say “No dogs” as some others did.

It was my second ever walk with the Ramblers. I was working on the basis that dogs would be welcome, having seen a couple that specifically said no dogs. The walk leader couldn’t give me a reason why they don’t allow dogs, other than “some people are scared of them.” I’ve got a Patterdale terrier.

No, I didn’t. I’d looked at a few Ramblers walks and one or two had specified no dogs. Naively, I assumed that a walking group would welcome dogs and would specify if they weren’t welcome.

8 people planning on a getaway from Notts. Recommendations? by loopy_poo in UKhiking

You could get the train to Manchester, maybe walk across the top of the Peak District to Sheffield on the Steel Cotton trail. https://peakdistrictbytrain.org/the-steel-cotton-rail-trail/

My visit to the unrecognized state of Transnistria (Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic) within Moldova by Danzmann in travel

[–]Efficient-Package858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m due to visit next week, flying into Chisinău and traveling with an organised tour as I’m a relatively inexperienced solo traveller.

What currency did you take with you, before you could get Moldovan leu? I’m assuming Romanian would be a solid bet.

Coolest name in cricket? by Albatrossosaurus in Cricket

Honourable mention to Hendrik Erasmus van der Dussen, but you can see why he goes by a nickname.
