mmm I think it was about -10°C with a wind chill of about -15°C, though I was in a quarry so had a little bit of shelter from the wind. My breath on the back of the scope formed icicles. I was about as rugged up as I could get and it was good until I had to pack up (about a 5-6 hours session)... I had to take my gloves off to dismantle the scope and everything was sooooo cold! And once I started moving around I got too hot inside the freezer suit, so ditched that... but by the time I was packed up and in the car heading home my hands were in pain.
But that wasn't this year.

I must confess to being a bit slack this year. I haven't been out very often since moving... between work, weather and other things.

I guess I haven't pushed myself to take the few opportunities I've had...
I'm so looking forward to getting my POD!

Not having the set up and pack up... out of the wind... it's gonna be so good
