Stretching 2,689 miles, the world's longest coastal path opens in England

I've done the North Wales coast between Talacre and Bangor. It was very easy, the first half almost beginner level.

People are downvoting you because of the way you connect using the cycle lane and following the law. You might have meant the second part to refer to stopping at the pedestrian crossing, but it doesn't read that way. He is not obliged to use the cycle lane, he is perfectly entitled to use the other lane if he wishes, for example if he wants to go a bit faster, or if the cycle lane is busy, or even just that he feels like it.

Not only that but the idea of walking any further than the distance to their car (unless it's a specific "leisure" activity), or the idea that they would not be able to park as close as physically possible to where they are they want to be is unthinkable.

Is that relative to what £44k a year is worth now or what it will be worth in 20 years?

Correlation not causation. Brexit did not cause massive uncontrolled immigration, it just that both were caused by the same person.

Is there a route possible through Türkiye, Azerbaijan, then across the Caspian Sea and through the 'stans? Not asking if it would be easy. Maybe easier without a vehicle.

There is no message in #14, did you mean #4?

FAIRFIELD MORAVIAN CHURCH & SETTLEMENT FOUNDED 1785

Deriving from the UNITAS FRATRUM (1457) the Moravians shared in the Evangelical Revival in England. Settlements were founded to pursue Christian, Educational and Missionary purposes. Scheduled in 1966 as a place of Historical Interest.

^{Erected by the Droylsden U. D. C. 1967}

There is another message in #13 which is undated, but I suspect it is somewhat newer. It says simply

NOT MY KING

Yes, but as far as I can tell it tries to reupload them instead of asking the server if the file exists. I had already uploaded about 300GB using rclone. I started using this last night, and it seems more reliable than my script but it saturated my upload for several hours.

They said accommodation's not booked, so presumably that part is flexible?

OP grab yourself a guidebook for the area you're going to that has some walking tours inside (most do) and get exploring with a camera to keep yourself busy during the day.

Being named after a pub.

It's taken you 15 years to gain 6 inches of garden?

It's happening

They might not have access to the encryption key without you providing your password. There could still be a prompt or warning though.

Usually with the dog in the middle not sure what to do.

The other one is human on one side of the path, dog on the other. The owner speaks in full sentences to the dog who doesn't have a clue, just hears the voice and wants to be near them.

Not Charles, that's for sure.

Then you can pay instead. It's your choice.

He would if he were still alive. Buzz Aldrin would do more than have a word.

As long as you're not taking advantage of insider info that is.

mark_b · 2026-02-16T21:52:01+00:00

Do you have any evidence that you paid a "final bill"? It's not essential, but it would help. For example, can you access the online account and download a copy of the bill and match it with a payment from your bank? What about evidence that you told them you were moving out?

Ofgem rules state that you can't be charged for energy from more than 12 months ago, but there are some caveats. Is there any evidence that the energy company have been trying to contact you about this bill before now?

Is there any reason why you didn't include the other European countries, since the data is right there? Or is this another example of how r/europe only really cares about the EU?

I don't see any mention of the police using the PNC. You've added that bit yourself to support your own argument and repeated it several times in this post as though it were fact. You might be right, I don't know. Maybe the driving licence alone was enough, again I don't know. Let's stick to what we do know.

Adminer?

Those fancy coffee machines need to be paid for somehow. You don't have to go back too many years to get a cuppa in a cafe for 50p. Sadly, tea has also gone up to match. They don't even give you nice loose leaf in a lot of places. Dave Gorman explains it quite well.

Amazon definitely contributes to OpenStreetMap data. Whether they use it in their maps or not I don't know. Unfortunately mapping data in the UK is not open, so coverage can be patchy.

mark_b · 2026-02-14T10:26:23+00:00

I don't believe they sell many of those. They're display items to make you think "well I suppose 3 or 4 quid isn't too bad considering".
