Will do! ;)
How do you girls wear your bags? I mean is it round the waist or over the hips? :confused:
There I was getting all technical with my Inov8 jobber and it gets right on my nerves.....joggles about all over when worn on the hips and digs in my ribs when round the waist. :(
Can't believe I could have gotten a nice girlie pink Roxy one....and wouldn't have looked out of place....they are obviously the right thing to wear if Our Master has one......and it would have matched my vest too! :cool:

Not looking too bad from the metoffice mountain forecast

Quote:

Saturday
Another bright day with sunnier intervals and variable cloud. Isolated showers will continue to occur, falling as snow above 450m, but many places staying dry throughout the day. Winds remaining strong to gale force.

and elsewhere it says

Quote:

Full winter clothing, footwear and equipment are essential for anyone venturing out onto the fells.

Sounds like shorts weather to me. :eek::D

Might make one concession to the cold and wear a vest. Think I'd be cutting glass if I went topless.

Note the shorts of course. But no ski poles; ski poles are for real wimps.

Re: Xmas on the fells

Dang! I'll have to buy a pair of those Inov8s that take crampons:confused::D

Indeed, no Ski's of any other nationality either:confused:

Re: Xmas on the fells

More importantly DJ, do you have the flexible crampons to go with the Inov8's??? I have but have never used them... and it doesn't look as if I will be using them this weekend either :(

Although I am feeling better today. I have finally managed to sleep, for the first time since last Saturday... Pain and fever slowly subsiding... functionality back in my left arm, left leg still dodgy and painful...:(

Re: Xmas on the fells

I ran a hilly five miles around the lanes last night and my knee has now near as damn it officially recovered :D. Hopefully now I will be able to run rather than stagger round XOTF.

Re: Xmas on the fells

Starting the journey north in 5 minutes so this is me signing off 'til XOTF.
Amex, please don't change the arrangements now as I've been warned about loitering in Keswick High Street in skimpies before and the Rozzers have long memories:o
See you all soon.

SS I'm leaving Settle at 7:30 ish hopefully and planning to have a pre XOTF fry up (the first in ages) at Tebay en route. I'll probably be at Tebay services at 8:30 if you're (or anybody else is come to that) in the vicinity.

Top idea! I might be doing that at Leeming Bar services instead around 8am, unless the A66 looks a bit exciting and I come up the M6 instead.
