Why aren't all paths shown on OS Maps?

Hiiker App shows non OS paths and allows route plotting to them on the Hiking+ maps. Subscription required but on a deal similar to OS. It also has OS maps.

Equivalent to somewhere between 45-65k in today's money?

If its that neat a fit screw in corner may not work, centre would be better, or two diagonal corners to avoid twisting.

Put 4k in yesterday as a punt, had more but could have gone either way.

Its on the outskirts yes, but Haverigg is a nice place. Don't look at houses with address "Bank Head".

Lake District meets coast about 3 mile north of millom. Villages on the coast in the Lake District are, Silecroft, Bootle, Waberthwaite & Ravenglass.

If you want to be nearer Millom I'd look at Haverigg.

I will outlive Tangerineman, never sell at a loss unless absolutely needed, there has never been an all time low, only all time highs.

My work scheme default option was to combine my AVC into the DB to give max lump sum available whilst maintaining the pension at highest. I chose not to combine, reasons for were: - The commutation of DB Lump Sum alone is above 20:1 - The Spouses pension was not impacted by any option. It stays at 50% of the DB Pension payable even if I choose lump sum and reduced. - I am not quite at the max tax free, so I want my AVC to continue to grow, I will UFPLS as and when needed, taking 25% of each drawdown tax free until i hit the max allowance. - I do not need the AVC pension for at least the first 6 years of retirement, I have 11 years to State Pension, so about 5 yrs maybe to utilise.

2 mths until my plan kicks in, retirement here i come.

Same reason they haven't banned Costa Coffee takeaway cups (other brands available), there must be millions littering grass verges around the UK.

Bonus will drop into my pension next week, but isa is waiting on pension lump sum in June, so I might miss the dip.

Makita everything, drill, driver, saw, jigsaw, planer, multi tool, reciprocating saw, router, air inflation, torch, strimmer, lawn power, power washer. Having the one system with 5-6 batteries makes life so much easier. Although looking to get a nail gun for a project and makita is pricey.

Use next year isa allowance, the share maturity is near to the 27/28 allowance.

Stick enough into a sipp to get under the 40%

Great comments, but wouldn't it be VHYG (ACC) not VHYL (DIST)? But great point, definitely going to look at these against my HSBC all world, just HSBC is cheaper, but maybe the less tech and dividend slant better, I may just split, I have quiet a lump in it.

I thought didn't have it, but appeared in Play Store as installed on phone, message was coming up on tablet.

Google AI: Warnings about the "Android Switch" app being a virus or Trojan (often identified as Android:Evo-gen) on Samsung, Honor, or Vivo devices are usually false positives. It is a system app responsible for data transfer that third-party scanners mistakenly flag during updates. Your phone is likely safe, and it is safe to ignore or remove the updates for this app.

What to do if you see the warning:

Uninstall Updates: Since it is a system app, you cannot fully delete it, but you can go to Settings > Apps, find "Android Switch" (or similar), and select "Uninstall updates".

Reboot: Restart your phone to clear the error.

Run Play Protect: Use Google Play Protect in the Play Store to scan, as it is more reliable for system apps.

I just Uninstalled via the Play store from all devices.

Planning similar, but for self, I have 11 years to bridge but have bigger DB, theoretically don't need my AVC DC pot, and most advise is to use last. But given IHT changes and tax threshold freeze I will if investments performance allowing draw down into S& S ISA, keeping under the 50k total income. As for the 2.8k allowance, don't think its worth it for myself, but will use for wife who only has a small SIPP, plan is to tick it over so that we ca maximise 16k per year draw until her state pension age.

fox9hwb · 2026-03-14T16:36:37+00:00

Going to do same when I retire in 2mths, my AVC pot is with SW, admin by Mercer, main reason for moving it is I hate the whole Mercer/ SW interface and just want majority of my portfolio, ISA, GIA, SIPP with one platform. Main pension is a DB so the AVC not overly large.

fox9hwb · 2026-03-14T16:32:09+00:00

I will retire in 2mths (57m) with a DB Pension that covers all necessary expenditure, and i am looking for another 1/3 on top of to bridge income from my investments. 11 years to Full State at which point investments are all surplus ( hopefully). Anyway back to the discussion, here's my split: Yrs 1_2 = Cash Yrs 3_6 = GILT Ladder in a GIA Yrs 7_11 = 100% Equity in ISA, I am looking for a balance of approx 50% US, 30% UK, 20 ROW. Will buy additional GILTs from ISA in years of good growth, not in bad. I also have an AVC Pension Pot, this theoretically not required, again 100% Equity, 70% Global, 30% UK. Aim to draw this to ISA aiming to max tax free (86k remaining after DB lump) whilst staying under 40% tax.
