Just opened mine, the PB advert on the first page "Trail Running, the UK's No 1 off-road running mag" surely some mistake!
Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Smashing picture of Tindersticks on p123, and yet another super contribution on hypothermia from IDP. The drought on short race reports continues, maybe i should start typing again; and i'm still waiting for some more cartoons from Wheeze...

No piccies of me again this time. Maybe I need to run faster or do more races. However, I do feature in the results.
See the light in the night
Force of habit makes me scan the race results, even though I can't run any more. So, it was quite a surprise to find my name there winning a category position in a Rab Mini MM!!
I've just read the 'Hypothermia...First Hand' article and I think it really demonstrates how easy it is to end up in that situation. Being personal accounts they hit home a bit more than the chain of disaster scenario. I'd like to think that those accounts along with Ben's on his blog are the kind of thing that will come to the forefront of my mind when I'm in a similar situation and thinking 'should I put my gloves and waterproof on now or should I press on until the next climb and see if I warm up?'
A very worthwhile article.
I must admit I laughed like a horse when I read the bit about the 8 jelly babies.Also being a lone open water swimmer in silly temperatures I like to be manly
However I've just got back in from walking the dog at approximately 1090ft and I started without gloves.25minutes in and with slight sleet/rain I decided to put them on.And,of course I could not get the right glove on!
So ,is the moral scoff at your peril?
