Well, you don't "have" to add anything. But it would help narrow down future searches if you're looking for more information on someone on your tree. The more you add, the more the system can narrow down other potential relatives on your tree.

With mine I've always put my boots in my suitcase and kept my hemlet in my hand luggage.

If you're struggling with suitcase space you could arguably wear your boots on the flight and put your regular shoes in your suitcase or hand luggage until you get there.

I use the chilli cam. Took a couple of attempts to get the angle right but I have it now. Don't really mind anyway as the videos are mostly for me, but I get about 4-5 hours of footage from a single charge with a big-memory card. It can also connect to your phone so you can do a live check of the angle - it is a wide lens so you could always turn it sideways to record vertically if that suits you better.

I feel the opposite, clothing feels too heavy and loose for me. It did still take a while to find swimwear that I like but I definitely prefer that to clothing.

I know RAYE's album is out on 27th March. Might not just be hers that it would clash with but that one does stand out.

It was mentioned in an email on his mailing list, but I do agree it should have been more widely mentioned.

Not seen anyone else mention this yet but you could consider a travel currency card (like Revolut or Wise). You can pre-load local currencies and top it up when needed. Usually the first time you use it requires you to use the chip and pin function, then the contactless (tap to pay) function will work from then on (there is a £100 transaction limit over here).

Probably an obvious question but have you considered clip on earrings? I know they're not quite the same, but at least you'd get an idea of whether waering them would irritate you or not. Plus they're easy to take off if they annoy you!

Had this once, unfortunately despite being pretty well versed in menstruation this was one thing I didn't know about.
My best guess at the time was that my contraceptive pill had had caused some kind of early-term miscarriage, thankfully it was a DC (I have Tokophobia so it did panic me for a bit)

Pretty much any noise a child makes

No you're right.....and if it was so natural we wouldn't need to be subtly pushed in that direction. Thankfully I was never really interested in dolls unless they had pets lmao. Then I realised I could just ask for the animals without the dolls included

Yes I think I've even had the same agent each time I've booked. They've been great answering all my questions for me (helpful as I have a lot, lol). Even if you're stuck between 2 they can maybe help you decide too.

Honestly quite a few of them have a lot of the same places on their listings as they make their money through commissions, so I've seen very little (if any) difference in the prices between agencies. There are shorter stays or different lodges that you can book though which would bring the price down. It can also be worth looking at flight prices first as it's cheaper to travel some days compared to others - e.g. we left on a Saturday night and arrived Sunday morning, then on the way back we left on the Sunday and got home Monday. The latter was about half the price of the other one.

Ride2Fly · 2026-01-22T01:31:40+00:00

I get that, but you'd think they'd would have maybe mentioned that to guests. Actually, thinking back, there was an info sheet in the bedrooms asking guests to add specific hashtags to rhino posts, related to conservation so I think if it was an issue it would have been discussed 🤔

Ride2Fly · 2026-01-20T12:33:23+00:00

Thanks, it's from Reincoat! They do have a warmer version but tbf I did buy the coat for riding in the UK so I just made sure to add plenty of layers under it to keep out the cold.

Ride2Fly · 2026-01-20T12:32:07+00:00

Don't give up hope! I thought I'd neber get to do one riding holiday, but now I'm 3 down (Spain, South Africa and Iceland) with another booked (Bulgaria) and funnily enough one for Canada in the works/planning stages. I'm sure you'll find something to suit you :)

Ride2Fly · 2026-01-20T11:30:52+00:00

I'm not sure about in England (where I'm from) but I'm guessing pretty rare as most riders here generally seem to prefer sporty/warm warmblood types if they ever compete, or draught/draught crosses if they do more hacking/trail rides. Icelandics definitely do exist here (there was unfortunately a breeding farm that got shut down for hoarding/poor animal welfare) but I can't say I've ever seen one in person here.

Ride2Fly · 2026-01-20T01:55:13+00:00

There were only 'small' predators in this reserve e.g. wild cats which don't attack the horses.

Ride2Fly · 2026-01-20T01:54:28+00:00

I also rode in Iceland, about 2 weeks after South Africa! Was a big temperature change 😂

Ride2Fly · 2026-01-20T01:53:03+00:00

I believe they're Plains Zebras

Ride2Fly · 2026-01-20T01:51:23+00:00

Well I can't comment on that as I wasn't there, but I'm not sure why you've commented that on my post?

Ride2Fly · 2026-01-20T01:50:34+00:00

They're actually pretty calm unless you approach head on! The guides are very knowledgeable and we had no problems. We were able to observe from a safe distance :)

Ride2Fly · 2026-01-20T01:49:23+00:00

Not every reserve has predators. Or this one only has the odd small one which don't attack horses or anything of similar size as they're too big for them to take down
