    I was up there today, roads are grand, bit of snow in the ditches, a bit of water on the road that may freeze overnight, lots of buses and hire cars doing strange things, walkers everywhere doing the mobile obstacle course thing!

    The main problem is frozen face / ear lobes when you get up a bit of speed!

    I was up there yesterday, it's really cold but ti was dry and seemed fine. There's a little ice and snow here and there, plenty of cars and sightseers but all in all it's ok. make sure to wrap up though. I had SIDI overshoes on, the ones made from Windtex, SIDI shoes and Assos winter socks and my feet were freezing, I had a bit of a job warming them up when I got back to Naas.

    You know it's cold when you have to check in a mirror to see if your chin, ears lobes and nose are still attached but have a sneaking certainty that there will be at least one toe from each foot left behind in your shoe!

    Very cold and windy today, with a few light showers thrown in for good luck. Had planned on taking an extended lunch break and going up the military road, but bailed and cut across from cruagh woods to johnnie foxes instead. Even then had sore toes on my return, and that was only 1h30 out. Have to seriously re-think my winter footwear strategy.
