Itches like a bugger for hours if you don't find some dock leaves though!

I was ok until I'd had a bath - got out looked like something from a horror movie!!
felt bad though cos a pal came to my area for a run (I usually always drive up to the fells as live in flat land!) so I took her on an off road trail that I 'occasionally' do to discover it completely overgrown with brambles and nettles - not to be disheartened decided to run first and ahead a wee bit to take the brunt of the stings the track went on for a helluva lot longer than i ever remember! couldn't feel my legs or most of my torso by the end of it!!

My legs were once still itching the day after a nettle confrontation.
