Well, I have highly effective waterproofs, but I still regard a walk
in the hills in rain as "bad" and a walk in snow or sun as "good".


I agree.

Without wishing to impersonate Mixi, clothing doesnt deal with
humidity well.

....unless you wear plastics nose to toes, but then again, humidity
inside may become an issue. :-)

Errm...try riding a regular motorbike when it snows and freezes, and
find out how little excellent clothing helps.

buy a car....they've never been cheaper !

Buying the car is not the problem. Finding an affordable parking lot
for the darn thing is!

Ever tried to walk up or down a hill on wet ice?

Not only that, but below zero with sun is also very good 8-) As
for walking in rain, my dog likes that considerably less than I do, so
I'm not along there. Snow is nice; it bounces off 8-)

And definitely not at all with ice underfoot, which is why I HATE
winter heat waves.

never higher than -2.

Exactly! I walk further and faster on days like that 8-)

Crampons are just too much. When it's icy, Gretl(my dog) and I take
short walks, just the flat area between hills both directions 8-)
