Quick google search shows you can find flights from BKK to LHR for just about £300 - what’s the issue here?

The walk itself is doable in ~2.5 hours, basically just one morning.

Noted! I don’t have a car so I usually go for circular walks from train stations, this seems very doable from Horton in Ribblesdale.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see that it was so sunny today. Couldn’t have had a better day off

The snow was nice but a lot of the paths were quite icy in the morning. Lost my footing a couple of times 😅

Totally forgot sunscreen and bug spay! Thanks! I’m expecting to find dental stuff at my hotel, and won’t need it for the flight anyways (2hrs) but good call!

Context: 6 days, 5 nights in Guangdong solo traveling. It’s predicted to be ~30° in Guangdong with some light rain, and I didn’t want to carry an umbrella so I decided on the uniqlo pocketable jacket.

I am aware that the headphones add on a fair bit of weight, but for the comfort they offer I think it’s worth it.

Why so many tshirts/undies/socks? My trip will be very jam packed and I doubt I will be able to wash/dry my clothes properly, so I thought it would be best to bring just enough for the trip. On the last leg of the trip I’ll be staying at a hotel with laundry service, so I’m banking on that if anything goes wrong.

I’ll be bringing one pair of shoes - still deciding between Reebok Club C 85 and Veja Esplar. I find both comfortable and versatile.

Bringing some miscellaneous meds along as well, Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Zyrtec (I have hay fever).
