Been out in nearly all types of weather and been reasonably happy with my lot at the time. However never been out in the thunder and lightening and after reading your report Oldman I have no intention of doing so. :lol: Not that you deliberately choose the weather of course. :D Thanks for you advice. :D

Thanks for the advise on what to do if ever caught out by lightning. Hope it never happens but with a lot of hills still to bag it will come in useful I'm sure. Hope your daughter wasn't put off too much. :)
