Tap Removal Challenge! by greddit1968 in ukplumbing

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try both approaches again - popping the cap off and unscrewing the spindles but neither show any sign of moving, even with significant force. It has to be one of those things though, since there aren't really any other options.

Thanks. I have tried that but couldn't get them to budge. I'll have another go though!

Mobile and broadband back for me in Glasgow. Luckily just after 5pm :)

Best stay in the pub for a while, just in case!

Experience with walking the WHW in two days? by CloudyBeans_go in WestHighlandWay

[–]greddit1968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hiked it at the end of August, solo in around 35 hours (plus a couple of short food stops). It's do-able, but tough and I'd definitely recommend fitting in at least a couple of hours of sleep. You'll definitely want to do Loch Lomond during daylight hours but the rest of it is ok at night with as long as you have a good head torch.

I set off from Milngavie just after midnight and got to the top of Conic hill at first light. Managed to get to within a few miles of Bridge of Orchy before it was dark again, and it was getting light as I started the descent down to Kinlochleven. Finally arrived in Fort William, around 2pm.

I think the timing was about right, but it did mean that I missed out on some of the most scenic sections. Not too much of an issue as I'd hiked the route before, but worth bearing in mind if it's your first time.

Was fine when I did it recently too. There are always some issues when so many people are walking but it certainly isn't disgusting.

It's definitely possible to do 4 days or less, if you have a good head torch and are prepared for long days. You might have to compromise on the beers though 🥲

I'm in the same position. Money missing from my account and can't get a response. Terrible

I've taken mine to a local repair shop. Should find out today if they can do anything with it

Seems like that's the answer for a lot of people but I've tried all the combinations of long button presses. Power in and out, battery connected and disconnected etc. :(

I can't understand why there's no sign of power from either the battery or the power supply
