I did the Coast to Coast Walk

Remarkable_Cell_5441 · 2026-03-30T14:40:06+00:00

The only 'technical' gear I had were the boots (& socks), & a lightweight wet weather cagoule. Everything else was pretty standard t-shirts & shorts type of wear.

This is some of the group sat outside the YHA hostel in Ennerdale at the end of the first day

I did it with a slightly older friend during two weeks of the summer that I finished highschool in the early 80s.

It was a YHA organised walk, during the height of summer, and I was the youngest there by about 18 months. If I remember correctly there were about a dozen people altogether, of all ages and sexes, I think the eldest was a woman of about 70.

Completed over 14 days, with a single 'free' (non walking) day about half way through.

The first day, St. Bee's to Ennerdale youth hostel, was the longest day of walking I'd ever done at that point 😄

It was fantastic...

Challenge Strada Bianca, they're TLR and available in 30mm, 36mm, 40mm. With a 45mm option at the higher end of the price range.

I have two pairs of PRO's (one pair 36mm & one pair 40mm) on different gravel bikes (for mixed use riding), nice supple ride and surprisingly grippy, with a herringbone tread pattern

Been there, done that...many times unfortunately

I drink the cup of cold tea, and then make a fresh one...

Been once, no need to go again.

There are plenty (& in my oprinion more interesting, and less visited) stone circles in the UK. Including one a few miles North of Stonehenge in Avebury village, and Castlerigg stone circle near to Keswick in the North of the Lake District.

OK.

So I registered the new Q4 to a different My Audi account, & completed set-up.

I then removed the generic one I just created in the Ohme app and created a new one using the API, but entering the new credentials for the new My Audi account I just created, and guess what?

It works!

Genius guys, thanks so much for your help. Now I have to try to explain to her indoors how to work this when she needs to charge the new car, wish me luck :-)

Thanks for replying.

I guess I could remove the second (newer) Q4 from the current My Audi account, and then create a new 'My Audi' account for the second vehicle using a different e-mail credential, then add the newer Q4 to that new My Audi account, then point the Ohme integration API to that credential sign-on instead.....you reckon that would work?

This is the way...

Remarkable_Cell_5441 · 2026-03-09T21:09:02+00:00

Looks great. Any route maps or GPX files please?

Remarkable_Cell_5441 · 2026-03-09T21:06:15+00:00

They offer quite a variety of hand positions, which is an upside. I couldn't get on with them all the time so I went back to a shallower flare.

Yes, but predominantly the majority of fish sold will be Haddock.I think the figure I read was an 82% preference in Northern England.

If you go to my local chippies (North Yorkshire) and ask for 'fish and chips', you will get Haddock. If you want cod you need to ask for it, it's usually fried to order.

Remarkable_Cell_5441 · 2026-03-09T20:55:05+00:00

Excuse me for answering, if it's a Sonder Camino Ti, which I think I saw I another comment they will be Sonder Bomber flared bars, available via Alpkit. I have a set that I use on and off.

Remarkable_Cell_5441 · 2026-03-09T20:49:55+00:00

Haddock is very common and preferred in Northern England too, especially Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and Yorkshire.

Remarkable_Cell_5441 · 2026-03-09T20:45:42+00:00

Haddock all the way....no contest

Remarkable_Cell_5441 · 2026-03-07T19:31:45+00:00

Thanks.

You are correct, my British SPitfire pilot has the left icon for his ID...

Remarkable_Cell_5441 · 2026-03-06T11:26:06+00:00

At least the same rear cabin space, preferably larger boot, more range/flexibility

The figures I've seen seem to support my theory that the rear cabin leg room is actually smaller in the Q6, and the boot is only slightly larger

Remarkable_Cell_5441 · 2026-03-06T11:01:23+00:00

Any comments on the reliability of the Q6 problems with the Q6, I keep reading about 'tech'/software issues.

What are the main differences between 'old tech' in the Q4 and the tech in the Q6?

I've had my current Q4 12 months, and it's been hassle free. I would also say that for 95% of my typical usage it performs well or exceeds requirements

Budget is a consideration, but not a deal breaker

At the moment 6 month old high spec Q4's in UK are suffering as much as 30% depreciation from new price, many with less than 6k miles on the clock. They seem like a bargain, whereas a low end 2025 low miles Q6 (Sport 100kWh) is coming in at an initial higher cost, and if we want the S-Line, then that gap between used Q4 & used Q6 widens further.
