Sounds like fun to me!
It's starting to look a bit shit on the long-term forecasts but I'll believe it when I see it. Plus I have all manner of warm and waterproof gear and solid boots so it'll all be cool.

I dislike walking in the rain.
I had to do a 3 day 'survival' course in the Lakes when I worked for Defra. 3 days of hiking up and down hills in the Coniston area. In January. Where it pissed down. For the whole 3 days. And I MEAN pissed down. Despite the waterproof clothing I was still fucking soaked.

Also, I got the corner of a laminated map in my eye 'cos of the howling gales that were blowing.
Went down like a sack of spuds, said eye subsequently ulcerated. Really uncomfortable experience.

It really fucking hurt.
It happened towards the end of the last day, and I was supposed to be driving everyone back. Someone else had to as my eye wouldn't stop watering for hours and I couldn't see properly.

I got a bit of rust in one of my eyes
Served me right for not wearing goggles whilst angle-grinding but I had to wear a patch for a week.

And it knacked.
