Am I the only walker who overheats? Even the flimsiest of jackets causes me discomfort, be it in
Scotland, the Alps or even the Lake District!!
A stroll with the dog around Loweswater today saw me down to a t-shirt.....I certainly don't
consider myself "hard" but I really do not understand the perceived need for Arctic gear in
temperatures well above zero!
Martell, the cave explorer, used to deliberately expose himself (!!!!) to extremes in order to
toughen himself for difficult explorations. Are we losing this?? Are we becoming too "soft" ???
Keswick and Cockermouth today had distinct reminders of Kathmandu........most walkery-type folk had
more gear than George Fisher!
