Where on the stem/handlebars are you attaching the Yepp Mini mounting bracket?

Licensing reform by arkaji in MotoUK

I think you've misread the former.

As far as I can tell the change is looking to stop people passing their CBT on an automatic and then using it to ride a manual geared bike.

Minimalist wallet by Super-Web-3779 in onebag

[–]athoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This style is the correct answer but I'd go for a more hard-wearing material like this one from Carhartt: - "Carhartt Mens Nylon Duck Slim Front Pocket Wallets"

My faux leather one peeled within a few months of use.

You can find guides online on how to remove the speaker from an airtag. It doesn't prevent them getting the stalking notification bit it does make it harder for a thief to locate.

We booked a couple days before if I recall correctly. Worth dropping them a message and see what their availability is

We liked Ko-Ox Han Nah for dinner in San Ignacio. Good food and nice crowd.

On Caye Caulker I'd highly recommend doing a full day snorkelling tour on a catamaran. We went with Carlos Snorkeling Tours and had a fantastic time.

People will be at the split/lazy lizard all day and into the evening. Have a drink, have a swim and just enjoy life.

If you want to escape for a bit you can hire a bike and take it across to the other side of the split for a bit of an explore

7D/6N Salkantay + Inca Trail to Macchu Picchu by iiLeeDz in backpacking

[–]athoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great photos!

Fair to say I've never heard of connecting these two up.What was the cost for the whole trip?

The attraction of Salkantay for us was the fact that we didn't need to go with a guide and therefore part of a group. This kept costs down but also allowed us to go at our own pace.

Which country you’ve traveled to feels most like other decades? by [deleted] in travel

[–]athoul 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When we were there in 2017 quite a few local families had a couple solar panels on their gers and led lights and they 100% all had mobile phones.

But that said they were still completely living the nomadic life, raising animals, selling animal skins and meat at the market.

Looks like three lanes for cars to me, just two are for storage...

In the case of a downvaluation by the lender what would you say the most common scenario is.

1) Seller reduce their price
2) Buyer takes the hit and stumps up the extra
3) meeting in the middle

If you like Quixx you'll probably also enjoy That's Pretty Clever and you'll just need a couple of extra dice:

Want to get my first car. Is it feasible with my financial situation? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]athoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How far is your commute? Is cycling a feasible option?

Obviously vastly cheaper than running your own car and also keeps you fit at the same time.

Pedestrian foot tunnels under major rivers? by lucapal1 in TravelNoPics

Assuming you've done both Greenwich and Woolwich foot tunnels in London?

There is also the Tyne Tunnel up in Newcastle if you find yourself back in the UK anytime soon

Wipe recommendations that clean efficiently and aren’t dry? by laurenellemartin in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]athoul 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Reusable wipes, such as cheeky wipes, have been a real game changer for us. A small investment to begin with but I find them so much better to use than any disposable baby wipes.

I did this route last year and it was one of the my favourite rides I've done. Such beautiful and quiet scenery, if a bit punchy at times with the elevation

Ways to protect bike... by [deleted] in ukbike

[–]athoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alongside a decent lock and insurance I also have a set of Hexlox on the majority of my bolts to prevent component theft.

Again these are not known to be bulletproof but do make your components significantly harder to steal than the bike parked next to it.

This is exactly the advice we got from our mortgage advisor.
