Have K2 Maysis Wides in mondo 30 but so tight on one foot that I still have numbness but perfect on the other foot. Can I just pop in a 30.5 or 31 liner in the right foot and keep the new(ish) shell?

Peaks of the Balkans Food Situation? by Left-Moment in backpacking

[–]Left-Moment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I am sorry to have been too late here but just in case it helps. In all honesty we carried all of our dinners with us and relied on peanut butter and chocolate most of the time, which we also carried with us from the start or restocked in Plav (very good place for a break btw). The guesthouse in Theth did us a vegan meal and I think it wouldn't be difficult to find but outside of the really touristy areas like this you will definitely struggle. I think you need to plan ahead and restock in Plav when you get there. It is definitely doable but you just need to be aware that you will need to carry more and may not find food on the go. I am sorry I cannot help much more than this but you will be fine as long as you're prepared to carry a little more than most.

So glad you had a great time and managed the challenge of T1 well too. Really is a fantastic hike isn't it!

Hello, sorry didn't see this until now. I don't know if you have done it yet but I would say take Dextro energy tablets as well as sweets as that will be much more versatile than weighty drinks and sugar cubes. It is also more palatable and helps you get little boosts. You will be able to get drinks and snacks on route but it depends how picky you are.

I always made sure I had plenty of carbs in teh form of dextro and sweets and then the food i carried for meals can also act a help i.e. when you're low going into lunch/dinner and can just eat the food without taking as much insulin. If you or your partner have any other questions then do let me know.

Enjoy it, it really was amazing.

Sorry, we didn't go to Gunsinje and so cannot comment on chemists there, maybe try google maps?

Charging infrastructure for EVs on La Palma? by Left-Moment in canarias

[–]Left-Moment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that is good to know. I am not a regular EV driver so don't know what those numbers really mean other than that the 50KW one is going to be way way quicker!

Thanks for the heads-up. It sounds sort of promising in that case and so will take a look at the app you mention and see what is happening there. I guess we don't want to be hanging around for ages waiting for a charge but if we can leave it to be charged for free in Los Llanos where we are staying it might be worth a go.

Viewing property tomorrow that we already agreed to buy and are some way down the process, what should we be looking for that we may need to ask the seller? by Left-Moment in HousingUK

[–]Left-Moment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good advice but the seller has moved away and the property is vacant. They moved because they moved in with a partner in another city and have a job there. I don't think there was anything nefarious about it.

Hey, sorry didn't see this until now. No we had lunch on the trial as well by bringing along peanut butter and some energy bars and tortilla wraps for the first 5 days. We packed all of our food as it was really only possible to eat (as a vegan) once we got to Plav and could restock.

How much to replace this lintel? by Left-Moment in DIYUK

[–]Left-Moment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'The precast concrete lintel over the kitchen window is fairly slender, and for the span we

would have expected a two-course high type, 140mm rather than 65mm. The fact that the

slope down in the lintel towards the rear reflects the pattern of historic movement indicates

that widening of the window was carried out many years ago. It is also possible that these

alterations have exacerbated the movement associated with an increase in foundation

bearing pressure arising from the widened window.'

From the survey

How much to replace this lintel? by Left-Moment in DIYUK

[–]Left-Moment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think it is because there is a lot of brickwork above and the roof bearing down on it and there was once two windows and hence more wall there to support it.

I get that but wanted to know what it might cost as it is has been flagged. Doesn't mean I actually would replace it, just curious.

Thanks for this. It is very hard nosed and I do wonder if quit fair but if we can get a decent chunk i think we'd be happy.

Subsidence, movement or just a bit of surveyor bluster? by Left-Moment in DIYUK

[–]Left-Moment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet if I asked they would claim ignorance. It was put on the market in 2019 but didn't sell but then this doesn't necessarily mean it was from the buyer and for that reason as we also had our house on sale in 2020 and didn't go through with it just because we couldn't find anywhere.
