Can we have the county lane walkers and those who live in the soft south in one group please, and

From a Country Lane walker in the 'Soft South' (your words) who spends many weekends walking on the
South Downs, but who also walks regularly in The Lakes, and occasionally in Snowdonia, Scotland,
Peak District, Andalucian Mountains, High Atlas Mountains, Nepal .......... up yours sir!

it rains whippets and cloth caps, so i'm told. Never seen it myself, but what would I know, being a
southerner. I think even the wettest Wasdale rain, is less wet than the actual lake, although it
comes close on occasion. But I cant complain, having had two dry Wasdale weeks in a row

We had the first rain for 37 years in Manchester today.

The figures for the Swansea Valley go something like this :

Last year up to October 76 ins

This year up to October 45 ins.

Sorry, no, I didn't pay too much attention to the actual figures. What I do know is that this year
has been very dry and their spring water supply had very nearly dried up for the first time. (They
have been there for more than 20 years.)

But that lake is drier than the ususual kind of rain you get in Wales :-)

Yes a little, and it's raining now too, but not enough to make any real difference to the
lakes/reservoirs and bogs. I'm used to a lot more rain than this.

Don't know about the forecast, but Mumbles was on the BBC1 news on the 14th as recording the
strongest winds of the day - 84mph. Apparently the gales swept further south than expected.
