I just walked a mile or so, to and from Sainsburys on my way home. It was a bit brisk, but not too cold yet. There isn't any sign of the bright moon we've had for the last few nights, so I'm guessing there's a bit of cloud cover, which should help keep the temperature up.

I have just arrived from 'Centreville'. It is a bit flipping chilly out there! Zero degrees centigrade showing on my guideline thermometer (I keep it in the fridge for safety), and the gritting lorry passed me by, sprinkling my shoes and wheels. OK I was in shorts but my guideline is; cold fingertips all the way and ears not that warm, ergo 'It's cold'.
So - "Disciples of Dodo"...drive carefully. And PS to Big Mart - Shooters Hill Road is closed in both directions edit*between Prince Charles Road and Lewisham Road* if it makes a difference to you - just heard it on the news.
I will now repair to a large glass of XO and wish you all well.

Cheers Teef, it makes a big difference, I'll keep my eye on it to see if anything changes.

Puut your head between your thighs and squeeze hard, Davy. I'm just going to slip into my lovely electrically heated bed now and peruse Evelyn
Waugh for a while...after my tea and a biscuit, probably. And nice warm pyjama type clothes.,,ready for an early morning and relaxing pot or two of coffee...
*Forgot* Temperature has now risen 2.1 degrees C since I last commented on it being zero etc...so, not too bad.

Will miss you all, dear friends.
Have a great ride. I'll be down that way in a few months to thaw out any who are left roadside. Don't worry. The cold will take the pain away once its taken your fingers and toes.

Update: we're at Pease Pottage. Contretemps with an idiot in Mitcham who turned straight into the lead man's path. Guess who? Just a bit of skin off my wrist, nothing more, thankfully. Davy suffering a bit, but spirits high and otherwise going well. No ice nor frost.

Well, actually i decieded to cycle into a curb at pease pottage services, do some acrobatics, write off a wheel, forks, handle bars and myself in the process.. I am stupid sometimes!? And so, ive still not made it to Bognor...

Bad luck Davy, GWS.At least it wasn't your good bike.
Looks like just the 5 hardy souls set off for Bognor
Still not cold enough for Martin to wear arm warmers though
Perhaps he has other ways of keeping warm
and they have arrived
Less one walnut.
