Stinging nettles

[samsonandrew]

Just back from a gentle 6k ,decided to head across country and see where i could get. All was great really, dodging under over hanging trees,jumping ruts in the path and oh yes getting stung so many times by nettles i lost count. Nice to be out after a rough day at work. Its so relaxing getting all hot and sweaty and forgetting all the rubbish!! Thanks for helping me run c25k.

Lovely!!! I had similar today too. I'm loving all the thick vegetation and cow parsley up to my shoulders! Tiger balm is good for the nettle stings. During today's run I was trying to think about how many types of poo I had dodged whilst starting to run; dog, Fox, deer, horse. I think that means I need cow and cat for the "big 6"

I'm finding the malt whiskey is helping as well 😃

Lol. I'll try that one. I assume it is better to take orally rather than apply to the affected area

Even in the warmer weather, it's definitely long pants for me on the trails.

Long pants??????

Sorry for the Americanism. Trackie bottoms is what I should have said.

I like doing trails, but I must admit, head height cow parsley freaks me out!
