The heating is on and I am wearing thick bed socks and my fluffy knew high slippers, but my foot is like a block of ice, the other foot is warm as toast. : (
My heating is on too dotty, I have my thick socks on, and my boot slippers too, and both of my feet are freeeeezing!..........Hate this weather!..............
Seriously, whether you are male or female with cold legs in this weather, try wearing a pair of tights under the socks. The Mountain Rescue wear these often under their cords etc as its one of the best ways to keep heat in on the body in very cold situations, (apart from being a reserve cord for making a shelter etc.....very useful to have in the rucksack)
I've no time to be ill I'm too busy at work lol, it's not happened before and I've checked there are no draughts, it's startin to actually feel painful it's so cold, wierd indeed.
scotland perhaps, dotty, breeks is terminology up there - I did some support work for the Nevis team a few times at Uni...in the Lakes most of the work was on the Langadles/Grasmere/High Street and across into the Sedbergh/Ingleton area - which is not fun from a 'death crew' basis, given the karst landscape.
Dotty,listen to Scotman. He knows what he is talking about, and so do I. If your foot is as badly frozen as that you should get checked for diabetes and also your circulation in that one leg, especially if there is pain could be a blocked artery. Dont want to alarm you unnecessarily but best to get it checked as soon as possible. If it is nothing then there is no harm done.
