Miserable, scratch that, on a par with the feeling you get after being forced to watch an episode of EastEnders.

It's picked up here this evening. Ramming in hard now......😨

Some serious fakes forecast for Saturday in the SW of England. I saw a sustained wind speed of 75kph for Barnstaple.

 

Winter is a bit late arriving here but we've had some reasonable frosts and light snow the last few days. Here are a few photos and a video from the last two days on the bike.

-8c yesterday morning trying to get a throwline in to a large Elm.  Almost maxed out a 60m rope with a base tie.

 

It wasn’t too bad once we got going though.

 

Sweating like cornered nonce after ropewalking ninety feet you mean.

That looks lovely as long as your hands are warm. What gloves are you wearing?

It was only minus 3c, so normal (fairly cheap) winter cycling gloves are fine. When it's much below that I switch to ski mittens.

In my previous post, it should read serious gales, not serious fakes. Bloody autocorrect.

I'll second the ski mittens. I've taken to wearing them instead of gloves for skiing in the last few years. They're surprisly warmer than gloves. Not tried them for cycling, thought the lack of dexterity might be a hindrance.

It's the calm before the storm here this morning. A beautiful dry sunny day, barely a breath of wind.
