HG's Scotland is not my Scotland, and living just on the western slopes of the Pennines it's rarely dry for long in the winter at least. Current drought is impressive but friends down the hill were flooded 3 times this winter. Agree with all that it's mostly agreeable enough for running though, especially those of us who can pick and choose our times in the day. Even when there's a bit of drizzle it's rarely as bad out it looks.

Markymarkmark Jun 2020 5:16pm, 2 Jun 2020 11,718 posts	0 Markymarkmark Huge chunks of my life haven't been too exciting, if I'm honest. But I like it that way! I lost most of 89-2005 to family life. Some good memories, but not exciting if you weren't us!
Velociraptor Jun 2020 5:37pm, 2 Jun 2020 46,877 posts	0 Velociraptor I spent the first six and a half years of the eighties studying and the remainder trying to work myself to death because I didn't realise that success in my chosen specialty wasn't about working beyond the call of duty, it was about belonging to the right golf club/Masonic Lodge or shagging the right professor. [In retrospect, I think I came off best in the end, but I'm not entirely Zen about it.]
