Cold but great

Well the weather is almost Kili like at the moment so I thought I'd get in some cold weather practice.

It was -3 as I started out on a walk in Ashridge, climbing up to a modest 800 feet around Ivinghoe Beacon. It was (with wind cill) -5 at the top and was extremely windy. 

The beauty of this walk is that it is long (about 3 hours) and it includes the "monster hill" that is optional half way along the walk. The good news is that 3 months ago I struggled to do it but today I did it twice so something's working !

On the way back the cloud formations were just fantastic with the beginning of sunset contrasting with the remnants of a "blue sky day" all fighting with dark dark clouds rolling in from the hills. T'was a great sight.
