His eyes were bloodshot and he was shaking with cold.

You'll find my eyes are bloodshot nearly all the time,there's a hereditary blood disease in
our family related to a lack of clotting agent, My mums twin brother suffered with it more than I,
His joints used to fill with blood if he knocked them or fell over,
Tattooists always have a battle doing me cos they cant see what they're doing for the blood.

37 miles for me,my feet still feel I'm wearing crampons, with the spikes sticking in my feet

Roll on the warmer weather

Glad to have only made a cameo appearance this morning - I was soaked and cold by the time we started, once we hit the snow at Blackshaw Head I had one of those "why?" moments. Had to defrost when I got in, glad you got round safely.

Now need to change brake blocks after descending Mytholm Steeps.

I had to change my pants last and only time I came down there

Respect to you, gents!
The weather in Liverpool has been quite sunny after some early rain.
