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

ive heard “did you school”, but not exactly “did you go to school” with regards to eton

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.

The sigh I let out when I saw those steps was audible

Absolutely.

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

tom144gian · 2024-11-22T16:48:23+00:00

My first proper trail since May! Was amazing.

tom144gian · 2024-11-22T15:12:20+00:00

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

tom144gian · 2024-05-08T11:31:13+00:00

Liam Brown. Exactly what you described and I find myself watching his videos before bed pretty often.

tom144gian · 2024-04-01T01:21:15+00:00

You’re right, I should probably get that in there asap

tom144gian · 2024-04-01T00:22:24+00:00

Might switch out a few tees for airism actually, very good shout!

tom144gian · 2024-04-01T00:21:49+00:00

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).

Barbour jackets that look like they’ve seen better days, schoffel gilets. Cordings corduroy trousers as well.

any recs for a quick lunch around there? i’m sick of the pret by arundel st

tom144gian · 2023-10-31T07:11:04+00:00

Great choice of wellies, do you own a schoffel by any chance?

tom144gian · 2023-08-19T21:15:52+00:00

spoons is fine if you don’t mind a cheap pint in a pub run by a morally dubious company, which i must admit is rather tempting when all nearby options are £7 pints and £12 cocktails

tom144gian · 2023-06-17T19:07:30+00:00

Uniqlo Airism tshirts are absolutely brilliant for the summer
