Thanks v. much 🙂 I don't think they're particularly good ones, but
they show what was there, which is the main thing!

Where are you? It was a cold almost windless day in the Eastern Lakes
and the sun shone in the afternoon. Not a perfect day by any means but
far to good to waste indoors and a good bit better than forecast.

For the first time in months my boots remained polished all day. The
soggy boggy was for once sufficiently frozen so constant paddling was
avoided. Glad I had my gaiters on though to stop the snow getting into
my boots.

Roger Chapman so far this year 106 summits
New - 78 (Marilyns 14, Sweats 5, Outlying Fells 66)
Repeats - 28 (Marilyns 11, Sweats 21, Wainwrights 16, Outlying Fells 1)

The New Forest became a bog about 4 weeks ago, and the persistent rain all
day ain't helping much ;-)

Just think of all that wasted protein lying there ready for a meal - yummy

I'm getting a bit worried about your hips. Are you really not comfortable
with 2 mattresses?

Really... it struck me as crazy too.

Whatever the cause, the symptoms are pain in/around the sides of my
bum, rather than just my hips. I actually developed it last year from
running, and a physio said it might be something called 'piriformis
syndrome'. A couple of other runners in my club have similar pain, and
have been diagnosed with the same thing. The bottom line in camping
terms, though, seems to be that I get sore if my hips/the sides of my
bum rub against the ground in the night. Oddly enough, I get the same
pain if I it on a low stool at home which rubs on the bones in my bum.
I think perhaps it should be re-named 'bony bum syndrome' :-)

Best wishes,

Stop! stop! stop!
these trail reports are NOT appreciated
I am sick of you walkers with your lardy-da tents and your lardy-da
stoves.

OK they are making me jealous
this is my third weekend on a row stuck at home,
since I sprained my ankle, and as that was done on a birthday weekend
in New York, (a little slope of grass in Central Park) its four weeks
since I was in the mountains; and I'm starting to notice it, and I
am getting jealous.

The grassy knoll, eh? Well look on the bright side: it could have been
much worse.... ;-)

Have a quick hobble up the stairs for a bit of practice. You'll soon
be back out there, I'm sure :-)

I don't run and don't intend to start. From your stories this seems
eminently sensible. ;-)

I sympathise. I stopped running when I realised I was developing all kinds
of back pains. Started cycling instead. More interesting views, cycling,
but you have to do at least 3 times the distance to get the same effect.

As for the bum and hips, I don't suppose a surfeit of alcohol wouldn't work?

Running is fun! There's always a danger that you might do yourself
some damage, but rest and exercise usually let you get over it.
Peewiglet - can't you sleep on your stomach?

I've tried that, but without a proper pillow there doesn't seem to be
anywhere to put my face that doesn't involve either dislocation or
suffocation.

Maybe I should look into it, though...

Well, it's a possiblity! Perhaps bizarrely, I've not actually taken
alcohol camping before now, but on your recommendation I'll take some
next time. Thinking about it, it could be just what I need :-)

Best wishes,

I use something very thin for a pillow or do without, and turn my head
sideways. I've slept like that since I was a child. Not that there's
anything wrong with my bum...
