Hanneke Mar 2021 5:01pm, 22 Mar 2021 71,723 posts	0 Hanneke I have an Alpkit waterproof, their high end one, and it has a good hood! I have a lot of hair, it was below my bum about a month ago, so a friend cut a fair bit off the bottom. Now it no longer looks straggly and it is just bow my waist I think. On the bike, I put a series of elastic bands around it all the way down. Dodgy shoulder paired with excessive length if hair = no.plait. For running I either tie the whole thing around itself and use a clip to hold it into a messy bun. That fits under several good hoods and good hats. I also find a good cap can remedy a bad hood... As can a woolly hat. Some hoods are made to go over a climbing helmet, so bulking up with hat and hair helps.

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
