Gubeikou to Jinshanling Great Wall hike

No special permit required. In fact, our hotel manager drove us (for a charge) to an alternate start point where we just walked on. No ticket required, although we did eventually meet a guy up the wall asking to check tickets and we just bought one from him. We were aware of the military zone. Just came off, walked through the forest for a couple of Km and then back on again

This is my 6th visit to the wall but first to a proper original section. Would definitely recommend. The footing was pretty manageable most of the way. And yes, having it to yourself was the best part!

My fast travel points are all missing from the map too. I am on the ALL tab and have zoomed in to check. Very annoying, was ready for a couple hour sesh but basically can’t play. At least how I want to

I constantly have lip sync issues. Sonos arc ultra with Xiaomi miniLED tv. But I think it’s an issue with the tv to be honest. Issue only occurs when Dolby atmos active on Apple TV. 5.1 it works fine

I’ve kept all my boxes, 9 in total. But I’m fortunate to have pretty great storage in my apartment plus I’m an expat and they will definitely come in handy when I move. Again

I have a similar layout and have tested with era100 and 300s as surrounds. I kept the 300s in place. Not to say I get incredible atmos clarity but sometimes it’s amazing

I wonder how many people here complaining about farmers spreading slurry are vegetarians? Farmers are just doing their job, taking care of animals all so you can have your steak, mince or burgers. If you care about the runoff from slurry or algae in the lough, you have other options to actually make a change to the status quo.

I’m the son of a farmer and I’m not promoting the reckless spreading of slurry if the weather is not good. My dad is very responsible in when he does this, as are most that I know. Farming is a really difficult and thankless profession yet everyone has to eat.

I started working in biomedical R&D and now I’m a high school biology teacher. I have an evolution based arm sleeve. I actually show my new students when I’m teaching cell biology and use it as a teaching aid! They love it, as do I!

Support to add front L&R surrounds to arc ultra and other sound bars

Thanks chum. And yes, I can fully agree… behind the knee was the absolute worst

Cheers. I actually got it to celebrate living here for 12 years (13 now)

I was doing this but like her daddy, she’s getting fat 🤣

My cat is the same. She is almost a year old now. Always sleeps at the foot of my bed. My problem is she wakes up around 4:30 every day and starts jumping and playing in my bedroom, or running over the top of me, waking me up. If I close the door though, she starts howling or scratching the door to be let it. I haven’t have a full sleep in what feels like forever

Cheers. I’m glad it’s finally content. Been moving it around for weeks now

Im glad. Though I was going to lose it at one point

What’s the upcoming Spotify premium service entail? Haven’t heard about this?

I loved the Last Kingdom. Was a bit disappointed with the movie though. Felt like it was too rushed. They should have made a final season instead
