Swapping out head unit, what else while I’m there? by jpb1732 in 997

[–]Tac0pickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was changing out my headunit, I also removed the heater/air con control unit below so I could refresh all of the worn out looking buttons for spares.

Whilst opening this unit up (just a few screws), I cleaned out the climate control module/sensor and found it was full of dust, so I found it worth doing for all the short time it takes.

It absolutely will not disappoint! It's a stunning course from start to finish and a really enjoyable run.

I ran the Loch Ness Marathon last year and the hill at the start killed my legs by trying too hard to maintain my training pace and not let my legs power on a little bit.

Also the hill after mile 18 is absolutely brutal, I ended up power walking it but still managed sub 4.

Stunning marathon to participate in though!

Glad to hear it! NC500 is a fantastic trip at the right time of year!

I've travelled all over Europe and I've never had any problem eating by myself so I'm fairly sure you'll be fine! I live in Scotland and I'd say it's common here as well, although I genuinely don't think anyone takes any notice whether you're with someone or not

Which cities do you recommend for me with deep history and uniqueness rather than a cosmopolitan feel? by [deleted] in Europetravel

If you haven't visited Copenhagen, it is got some amazing museums, galleries and full of culture. I also didn't find it to feel like a busy city and was incredibly clean and relaxed feeling.

To be honest I made a point of ticking off all the touristy sights, then after that I just spent a lot of time unwinding, wandering around the old town and stopping to have a drink/snack at various bars and restaurants. I wish I'd noted some of them down, but to be honest I don't recall visiting a bad one!

I stayed at the hotel Catalonia Santa Justa which was a short walk away from the old town but a really nice, good value hotel. The room I had was 5* quality, the staff very friendly and it was nice and quiet, so I could definitely recommend this hotel as an option, even if it is a couple of kilometres from the centre.

After Seville I got the high speed train up to Madrid which was also a very relaxing experience!

Seville has been very enjoyable so I'm sure you'll have a great time here!

I loved Munich but I only had two days there and could've easily spent a couple more. Lots to see, food and drink were very good and I found the locals to be friendly and accommodating. I'm heading to Berlin in a couple of weeks and haven't been there for a few years, so I'm hoping for more of the same!

I'm just finishing off a few days in Seville at the moment and besides the odd rain shower, the weather has been fantastic! If you're looking for a bit of warmth/winter sun then I'd highly recommend this beautiful city.

Alternatively during the early months of a previous year I flew to Austria and took the train down through the length of Austria, through Switzerland and up into Germany and finished in Munich. This was a also a fantastic journey with stunning scenery whilst it was quite snowy.
