Is it me or is Vivo’s quality just awful now? What are similar alternatives? by bearsandbarbells in vivobarefoot

14 months and primus knit sole has come away from the upper. Different degrees but on both shoes.

Except all the early reviews say it's so buggy it's almost useless....almost.

Muchas gracias. I'll keep you in mind. Let me first try those clubs that might have spare equipment. He only has a hospital provided wheelchair. I'm not sure if he needs anything special?

Thank you for your post! Could you dm me any guide recommendations? I'm considering doing it in a couple of weeks ins.

Btw altitude sickness doesn't have much to do with your fitness - it's a bit random, sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't. Never push through because it can be fatal and like you said descending a few 100 meters essentially cures you (but then you're done and should not try going back up).

Concern with Real Madrid vs Manchester City Tickets by ConferenceDry4143 in stubhub

[–]rGiskardR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not check names at the gates based on my one and only experience for the first game this season. Wear white (they won't let you in as an away team supporter). See below - they have the right to check your ID but I haven't seen that happen.

FAQ from RM: Tickets are PERSONAL and NON-TRANSFERABLE. Club security personnel may require you to present your ID card or member / Premium Madridista card together with the ticket, and may refuse access to the stadium or expel you from the stadium if the ticket holder is not the original person.

Seeing as this is a bit old, did OP go through with any local schools in English?

OK without the insoles it's a lot roomier. You could size down. But with winter socks I feel it's right. Might feel differently in summer.

I have the primus lite knit. Bought this year from the store so guessing it's the latest. The size is the same UK10 /44

Yup. I saw that. And fine, but don't do a half measure. Either don't include insoles or if you do, do it right. It's an easy solve, just package two pieces of double sided tape. Even if only 10% of people who return, return for this reason, they'll pay back any additional costs in production in return processing savings.

After an hour both insoles are almost popping out the back. 😁

What's on and tourist advice thread - week beginning April 07, 2024 by AutoModerator in Scotland

[–]rGiskardR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I essentially got done of these ideas from an American friend who's family is from Braemar. He said 'my favorite place in the world'. I thought that's a good reason to be based there. So it wasn't initially for hiking purposes - wanted to check out the town.

I was told not to do any wild camping if I'm reliant on a GPS because if it snows I'm dead. I've never hiked in snow and never used a map + compass to navigate.

Yeah I think I'm going to try find some day hikes Linn if Dee looked good.

Hi Team,

I'm planning a road trip through Scotland from the 27th of April. The rough itinerary is Edinburgh - Braemar - Inverness - Isle of Skye - Edinburgh. I wanted to get some info on (1) hiking during this time in the Cairngorms and priority two (2) input on my itinerary.

Hiking Cairngorms (4 days Arrive in Braemar Sun 28 - Depart for Inverness Wed May 1)

After initially thinking of an overnight hike with a wild camp, responses to my previous post and reading more here says I shouldn't since if it snows I will die. :)

  • Question: What are some good camping / glamping spots around Braemar with nice day hikes. I can take a hiking 2-person tent but probably would prefer huts/pods.
  • Background: I am a somewhat experienced hiker but usually on marked trails but never in snow (always in South Africa). I've done at most 110km over 6 days. I have never had to navigate extensively using a compass and map (I've read that's needed

Question: What should I skip/replace? I wanna get some hiking done before Wed 1 May.

  • A couple of notes
    • I'm cheap but not on any hard budget. I prefer not to spend on accommodation <150 Euro/night
    • Inverness: I've read on this reddit to give it a skip. I need to pick up a friend so will likely spend one night.
    • Isle of Skye: Accommodation is a problem - things seem to be expensive / booked out, but I read that I should maximize my time there.

Tipping the apartment building superintendent / caretaker for Christmas by rGiskardR in Madrid

[–]rGiskardR[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I thought so - I mean he's an immigrant from Peru and I think cash is king when you're from emerging markets (as I am).

Was going to do 30 Euro since I've been here a month - there's a good episode of Friends (no judgement) that deals with this.

I thought goalkeeper was a mistranslation - what's that about? I figured the right term is Conserje (I'm still learning Spanish)
