I occasionally forget how awful it is and find myself here for some of winter. Like last winter. I didn't run away until August. Bad bad idea. Everytime I tried to go climbing (and as I was keen to be fit for the states in September, that was quite a lot) I found I could never warm up enough. There are only so many laps of 22s I can do in a down jacket and thermals whilst still having freezing fingers before spitting the dummy and going home. I was not alone in this assessment of last winter. At least I didn't get the chillblains that Kate and Duncan did though.
