    Re: Xmas on the fells

    [QUOTE=Hanneke;286459]I am starting to feel really sorry for myself : I had been so looking forward to this weekend.

    Awwww bless you Hann. We will all be thinking of you.....especially as you will be all warm and cosy while we will be like icicles!
    I was like you last year, feeling sorry for myself cos I couldn't go as I was preggers.....but that was self inflicted!

    Wuss.

    Seriously though, how do you keep your, ah, nether regions comfortable? On my lunchtime run, which was at all about 200ft above sea level, it was starting to ache down there running into the blizzard. I always thought going commando in loose cut shorts was fine until today I'm turning into a wimp too

    You are a load of whimps! What is all this stuff and nonsense about it being cold? -4.6 isn't cold, windchill; of -15 isn't all that cold either! Get a grip!
