English Summary: Battered by the strongest head and side winds I have experienced, I took shelter from the flying ice in old stone farming huts for the afternoon and following night.

Man, it looks sooooooo cold!! How do you manage to keep warm once you stop cycling? You will have to be careful you don't get frost bite on the exposed bits of flesh like your nose.

Comment by Jim Gagnepain — January 9, 2007 @ 2:32 pm | post a comment

Wow! What's your elevation? Will you be going DOWN in altitude soon? It looks like Colorado right now. Of course, it doesn't compare. I'm sleeping in a warm house, not a tent or unheated shack. Take care of yourself.

Aunty Jenny, the trick to keeping warm lies in a thick down jacket and wrapping yourself in a down sleeping bag when you're sitting down cooking etc. If you do this, and make sure that you're never hungry (must keep eating), you're always toasty as.

Jim, the altitude should drop in another 300km or so. Until then it's chilly chilly!

The photos make me cold so it must be pretty chilly for you!

Comment by Kirk — January 10, 2007 @ 12:13 pm | post a comment

What altitude were you at? What is the "Ensure" reference about in the Japanese text? You are definitely looking like a mountain man now!

Comment by Rob Thomson — January 11, 2007 @ 7:35 am | post a comment

Kirk, that was about 2,200m. The 'ensure' ın the Japanese was refering to ensuring that I keep feeding my body carbs in order to keep the 'inner fıre' stoked. So long as I never go hungry, I seldom actually feel cold. The reason that the English word is there, is because I couldn't remember the Japanese…

Aunty Les, like I keep telling people, apart from my cheeks and any other exposed parts, my body is seldom cold. Just gotta keep the 'inner pot belly' stoked up with stuff to burn (carbs, fat) and I'm all toasty.

Man that top picture of you reminds me of someone…

Tim, you have single handedly posted one of the most classic and entertaining comments on this blog. If you do something like this again, I'll have to ask you to stop – my suppressed laughs disturb the other internet cafe users.
