Re: Its grim up North!!
Ive got a good one to look forward to! Im Riding from RAF Fylingdales (Whitby) to Barnsley every 4 days... thats along the A169, over the moors Oh NOES!
Seen -3 already... EEEK I stay warm(ish) by wearing:- Upper= Shirt, jumper, MCN (keeps out wind), full wool under suit (RAF pilot issue - im not a pilot  ) and textile jacket.Lower= Jeens, full wool under suit and textile trousers. That full wool under suit is SOOOOO warm its brilliant. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-RAF-CO...QQcmdZViewItem I have a pair of heated gloves but my left hand one seems to have given up on me. Just my luck!

Re: Its grim up North!!
Nice one! Hope it works out.
Keep me posted. I was actually very lucky with mine... My Aunt works in a Charity shop and for some reason they got one through, she thought of me and so i got it for nothing  .

Re: Its grim up North!!
Yea i travel home on my days off, especially in the winter there is nacker all to do here except play on the internet n sleep. Great in summer, some excellent roads! Whitby to scarborough road is VERY rollercoaster like
 .Should try to get some .orgers to whitby to meet up, there are regular meets on thursdays through summer at the train station... Anyhow i digress. Golf no... cant stand it, but i can kinda understand why you ask, there seems to be a lot of golfers in the place...  My sport is powerlifting at the moment

Re: Its grim up North!!
T'is quite pleasant today. Granted I have had to replace the shorts with the longer Bermuda version. The lack of rain makes it quite a bracing yet an environment where properly protect it should be quite nice.

Re: Its grim up North!!
Shhhhhhh. We are all hard men up here. Don't shatter the illusion.
Besides which. if a tad bracing. you have somewhere to hang the ironing. So less work for you looking for hangers
