At least you are dressing the part. I'll just be wearing normal clothes cause I'm going to a nightclub in town and don't think I'd have the confidence to dress up

I'm pretty glad with that outfit too, cuz it's got full length arms and legs so I shouldn't be too cold. Went out the other night in a dress and almost froze to death :eek:

Yup, the whole coastline from Tramore to Dungarvan is amazing

Looking at these posts, I think I’m the most boring fella here! I don’t do Halloween or go pubbing & clubbing!

I have been dying the last few nights with the cold even with 3 layers and a massive bodywarmer. Might try pick up some thermals in town tomorrow.

Other than going out Wednesday and possibly one day I'll be studying all week so you're not alone in being boring :pac:

Gremlinertia

I haven't given into the base layers yet though i was in a good bit of pain this morning so maybe i should rethink that.. Blasted cold making pain worse

Yeah I think the cold is getting too be too much here too. Might try get gloves too for my poor fingers. Couldn't feel them after 3 hours out volunteering the other night

Gremlinertia

Oh gloves, buff and hat already fully recruited here!.

I’ve not had to study for anything in about 18 years thank god! At least being in the 30somethings has its little perks.

Gremlinertia

I was just terrible at studying when i was young.

What I really need is one of those face masks. I saw some people with them in Dublin and they look fierce handy to stop your face being frozen.

Gremlinertia

I just use the buff, sit it under my eyes and the hat pulled well down..

Ah I like studying. It's just I've a week where I've to do so so much which is overwhelming. 5 years of physics papers, 423 key terms in business, a 1500 word history essay and a stupid long english comparison among others.

Gwildor

Grow a beard. Nature’s free scarf.

Jesus wept!

I’m nearly sure I’ve completely lost the capacity to learn new stuff.

I'd prefer a mask. I used to have a snood and that was handy but looked silly.

Have a look a tube bandanas. I use them all the time while rambling and cycling. They’re very versatile.

They look good or something like this:

I used to use a marino wool hood, kind of an open face balaclava when i was biking and working outside in winter.. Great piece of kit.

Yup, can’t beat Marino wool. Great for all the base layers

Gremlinertia

Shpud that's not bad looking but i'd be wary of the material it's made of.. It's often something like neoprene or rubberised which doesn't work well in our mostly mild enough winters. Condensation..

It was really just the design i was illustrating with it like the half face design more so than that exact product but thanks for the heads up

Gremlinertia

I've a lifetime of experience with all weather gear if ya ever want to ask. Not an expert by any means, have just tried most gear..

Do you know any shops where I could get masks like that or good base layers?

Gremlinertia

All the outdoors/camping type places will have different bits and bobs, some can be expensive but worth it for gear.. Say in Limerick there is Radar, River deep mountain high and Outdoor adventure stores.. That sorta place. A lot are chains so you'll be able to look up what they have to offer online..

I must try get in tomorrow and have a look.

Gremlinertia

Happy shopping, i could wander around those shops for ages..

Shpud2

Shopping is anything but happy for me. I don't like to spend money

Gremlinertia

Hey, going in doesn't mean spending money!

Shpud2

Very true. Often times I've seen something I like in a shop but I never buy it

Gremlinertia

If it's something i need i tend to research and come up with best compromise on price/quality

If it's something i want i'll usually just drool and move on, maybe check it out when there's a sale on..

Shpud2

I think I'm indecisive when it comes to purchasing things so like you I'll research a lot. I think I might just be cheap too like I saw a nice jacket last week for €100 and whilst I would wear it a lot I also have a jacket I got from work for free that does the same thing.

Gremlinertia

I tend to see things having uses so if i have something that does a particular job then i don't need another. Think we are kind of similar there Shpud

Shpud2

I think there's a good few similarities between you and I.

Gremlinertia

Seems so.. Now that's scary :pac: Pain riddled insomniacs unite!

Gremlinertia

The halloween google doodle game.. Must.. Not. Play..

We should start a club.

Gremlinertia

Like an online chat thing? :P :pac:

Shpud2

Possibly. Some sort of place where we could post messages

Gremlinertia

Oh, more a forum type thing? Interesting. It would have to be night related.

Shpud2

Yes a forum but just for people of the night such as ourselves. Nocturnal almost in nature.
