    Aye that's the one they recommended I buy. I tried on a fair few, they were pretty patient with me.

    I didn't know yomping was a Marines term - then again, as a kid I was with the 17/21 Lancers (don't exist no more) and as an adult instructor I was with the Welsh Guards, and training with them was frankly terrifying (they're infantry which don't have women in, so some of them had a few issues with women on their patch. This was a few years ago, but the mess had a line painted on the floor about a metre from the bar and women could not cross it to buy their own drinks. After spending the whole day keeping up, not being able to buy a drink, was pretty archaic! And you couldn't have a pint! Only halves!!!)

    I hope it was in a proper lady's glass.

    Alexandra, no women allowed in the Marines, the Infantry or the Royal Armoured Corps, or in submarines (I believe, not a tar myself) though they do serve alongside.

    After amalgamation in 1958, my old mob had a white line painted across the bar and over the floor in the Sgts' Mess; West Yorks one side, East Yorks the other (no women there either).

    Oh and hello yomper, welcome

    I am unofficially the worst fell runner on the forum - live in Nottingham, worked in London, and just started working Manchester, so spend more time working and on trains than running anywhere near any fells, well running at all is a trial at the moment... and they still talk to me so it is all fine :thumbup:

    I fairness OHW is a fellrunning fashion icon, who can forget a chilly XOTF with One Hill wearing an angora (or was it Mohair) baselayer. None of your polyester/polyprop/pertex nonsense for her:thumbup:

    May well do that, I'll work out who you are first and check your race results so as not to be humiliated on a training run! I'm just down the road in Ripon. I love coming up to Middlesmoor and Dale Edge, it's good training land..

    We do our best to overcome this distinct disadvantage, but it is impossible to practice those long steep ascents/descents except on the genuine terrain ....
