Morning all.
Last week I was out and about, the car thermometer registered 2C in the car park and the wind coming down the estuary was bitter, the wind chill must have dropped it below zero.
I confess I didn't last long, my fingerless mittens meant the tips of my fingers hurt, and when carrying tripod etc. I couldn't put my hands in my pockets so after a quick nose about I headed for home. With the heated car seat on!
I, like the birds seen, went and hunkered down.
I've ordered some fingerless mittens with a flap over the fingers to allow fine control of my fingers but keep the tips out of the wind.
But... my 'normally ok' walking trousers were not ok in such conditions, especially the biting wind.
I have tried since wearing a pair of cycling tights under the trousers which though kept out the wind, was uncomfortable to wear.
I know the current low temperatures in the UK are about to change, but nevertheless, I'm sure there's more cold weather on the way.
Therefore, what trousers do you wear in a cold biting wind?
