First dry walk for a fortnight!

[Over60sRunner]

I can't believe that it's been 14 days since I didn't have to don my waterproofs to take Monroe out for a walk. I also can't believe what a difference it made to walk in the dry, even if the roads, fields, and verges are still absolutely drenched.

I was rewarded with a postcard and another tree planting 😁🌳 Just over 80% of the way through the Mines of Moria now and on the the home run 😁

Well done you!! 🤗

I started my North Coast 500 challenge today and got my first wee postcard 👏 posted about it too, so go have a wee look!

Congratulations, the good news is that the weather is to dry up but it will get colder soon with frost at night and in the early morning.

Thank you AlMorr 🙏. The cold doesn't bother me at all, but being sodden wet seriously does 😕 It was frosty this morning on the car windscreen, so the chill is already starting to bite ❄️

I notice that the temperature in Oslo and Helsinki is - 13C and - 16C respectively, hopefully it doesn't get as cold as that in the next few weeks in the UK, brrr

By gum, I'll have to get my big coat out 🧥!

Gosh, just in time for our house’s heating to be fixed! Person came today and we can now stop freezing in the upper half of the house with all radiators being online again. Pretty happy about this, as I was fearing the January-February frosty weather!

Don't worry, you will be nice and warm with your new heating system.

Wow, you are whizzing through. Yes a dry walk is always good this time of the year

[Over60sRunner 1000miles per year in reply to SueAppleRun]

Yes! It's uncanny how much my spirits have been lifted 😁

[CBDB Administrator]

that’s nice! Yes, the wet can get to you, can’t it.

I got absolutely drenched walking home last night- only a 20 minute walk - my trusty coat just managed to keep me mostly dry but it’s still not dry after 12 hours - it’s the equivalent of 400 mm rainproof.

I hope it gets better soon as I am doing the Land’s End to John O’Groats challenger challenge.

I did it last year with MVM / Country Walking but this one is 86 miles further.

Oh my, I can relate to this. I have got three raincoats I'm using in rotation as they just aren't drying out overnight 🙄

Let's all put up a request that this weather changes soon 🙏

[Iwilldothisthisyear 1000miles per year in reply to Over60sRunner]

I really hope so . I have just been out for a quick walk in a gap between the showers lol

You’ve had your share of rain lately. Well done on your walk . Happy new year
