Title: Weather up north
Post by: hongkongstuey on June 26, 2003, 07:56:37 am: Whats the weather like up Peak District way today (bit grey down here in N'pton)

so long as its not raining i'll take a blast up and have a play - in fact overcast and windy would be good as i can hop on the grit that way (although it means i'll have to keep the top up on the parents mx5 for the drive up :( )

I reckon you'll be fine for a bit of grit action - go on, you know you want to :D

Does anyone know a decent remedy for hayfever?

but at Â£4:39 for 7 they are still quite expensive but seem effective. I've just run out so my eyes are bleeding right now....

Post by: hongkongstuey on June 26, 2003, 07:00:34 pm: it was too damn hot! - good weather for cruising round the peak with the top down on my parents tart car though

drove up through overcast windy conditions thinking excellent for grit - headed for the plantation and the bloody sun came out

added to which i was pathetically weak (i blame a combination of a dodgy elbow, food poisoning the other day and recovering from a 13 hour flight), have lost the knack for grit (too much bolt clipping in foreign climes) and flailed on problems i've done a million times before

having said which, my tips are thin, my ankles are bloodied and i can't wait to get back out on Sunday - shame its gonna piss it down all weekend!
