A lazy wind is one that is just to lazy to go around you.
This was another walk from work at Rugeley to home at Stafford. I took the easy route along the canal side because it was the first long-ish walk of the year. I'd come down with a case of the lurgi last November and it came back for a 2 week encore at Christmas.
February is earlier than I'd usually start my Friday afternoon walks home but I need to get into shape and the weather forecast looked OK. I should have paid more attention to the wind speed.
It was sheltered through Rugeley, but between Rugeley and Wolsey Bridge, Wolsey Bridge and Colwich, Little Haywood to Shugborough and Haywood Junction to Milford there was no hiding place. Still, rather that than rain.
So here I am with various bits aching like it had been twice that distance. Just 3 months to go.

25mph was the fastest windspeed we recorded on an outing this morning (which also involved the Trent & Mersey, albeit a different section to yours). Happily the wind didn't affect us as much as we had feared it would. This afternoon, however, I was staggering all over the place trying to get from one building at work to another. We were definitely lucky in hitting a lull in the ferocity this morning. Hope it's calmed down tomorrow morning, when we'll hit the Chase for a couple of circuits.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're getting rain. Lots of it.
