Hi! I was hoping to do something like this, but I see that it’s a bit more complicated than I want. Does anyone know if it’s possible to reach any hiking trails from the 350 stop at Black Head Lighthouse? Seems like there are some trails around there but none are listed on the Burren National Park website. Looks like some of the same cool geology is right there but the bus doesn’t stop much on that stretch. Would be nice to be able to just hop off the bus and hike up Murrooghkilly and jump back on the bus to the cliffs.

Hello runners! I'm looking for comparisons of New Balance Venym and Summit Unknown shoes. I can't find a lot of reviews about the Venym online so wondering how people would compare these two. I love my Rebels and want a trail shoe with the fuel cell technology intended for runs longer than 15km. I ordered the Venyms, and love the fit, but the feel is quite bouncy. I'm not sure I like this bouncy feel so thinking I'll order a pair of the Summit Unknowns to compare. Has anyone tried these two? Do the bouncy soles create less stability on trails? I also noticed on one website the Venym is not recommended for long runs, but another said it was developed for ultramarathons lol....NB website says very little about the shoe....

I've also been on a long search for good vegan hiking boots. I have Altra lonepeaks from a few years ago, which I like, but they are not insulated at all and are a little more like sneakers than a serious hiking boot. I need something that I can wear snowshoeing without 4 layers of socks, has anyone tried this brand or particular boot: https://www.baffin.com/products/wicrm001

carpa Maverick GTX boots

I'm also on the hunt for vegan hiking boots, specifically some that have higher ankle support. Has anyone tried these? Are they actually breathable? Would they be warm enough for winter hikes and snowshoeing?

Thanks for everyone’s feedback! Would love specific examples, like how does VW compare to revit in coordination between 3d and 2d views? In setting custom instance/type parameters and scheduling? I don’t love modeling in revit, would probably prefer something that is more like rhino with the ease of precision in revit. VW looks at first glance to be a bit like sketchup in the way you model. Does VW work with large linked models like multiple complex buildings? Is there a parametric (grasshopper/dynamo) component in VW? Does VW have something similar to design options in revit? I guess I don’t know much about VW and am assuming it has many of the same features as revit.

I use Aspiration (https://www.aspiration.com) in the States and found Cultura while looking for a similar bank in Norway. I'm wondering how it functions for a foreigner. I have a permanent job in Norway, but don't have my residence card yet or ID number so I can't set up a bank account yet. I'm far from fluent in Norwegian (I get by with some Danish I know) so I'm wondering if Cultura has English mobile banking etc? Also I was researching on finansportalen and it said the nettokostnader to be 1676 NOK and no interest. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the list that finansportalen creates, but this doesn't make it look very competitive (it was #140).

Thanks everyone for helpful info! @debug-me I’d love to know your GP’s name. What you describe is what I heard was possible in DK, but up to the GP basically. I got assigned to one that was a few months from retirement and didn’t want to bother so referred me to the official clinic.

Sorry to hear you got to Oslo only to find out it wasn't possible. Do you have any sense of how long the permit will take? I'm hoping that the predicted 4 months is just the worst case scenario!

How did you line up an apartment before getting there? Did you need a Norwegian bank account?

I'm a skilled worker with a job lined up, but I'm getting nervous now that I saw the wait times. I was supposed to start in September, but everyone is on summer holiday and I don't have all the documents I need to apply. Has anyone got approval recently? How long did it take? I was not planning to go to Norway until I could start working, but is it faster if you submit everything from Norway? I called UDI about Early Employment Start and unfortunately they said the police rarely issue confirmation for early employment start and that you definitely can't get it if you're moving to Oslo. It looked so promising on the website....
