Lets put it this way, and sorry to be so blunt about it.
There will come a time, that due to age and possibly infirmity, that you will not be able to go out for a walk in cold and miserable conditions.
Once your out and about, properly attired for the weather outside, you thank yourself for having that will power to venture outdoors.
It may be cold and miserable, but as they say, there is no such thing as bad weather, its all down to wearing the correct clothing.
Just think about those poor unfortunate people who are homeless, and have to sleep out in these conditions.
There will come a time that all of us will not be able to be as active as we once were.
Just keep that in your mind, and count your blessings that you have sufficient health to go out walking.
Spare a thought for those poor people in Yorkshire, whose homes have been flooded and destroyed, what Christmas have they to look forward to.
These are the motivational tools i constantly think about, when the weather is as it is, this time of year.
Tomorrow i am (FINGER CROSSED) attempting the Gerlan to Yr Aryg route in the Carneddau.
Ive had all week to do the walk, but the weather has been dire, very heavy rain and strong winds, but i am physically in good shape, and can do the walk.
There are probably thousands of similarly minded people who would love to be able to do the walk, but their health will not allow it.
Go for it, as once your outside in the countryside this time of year, you can experience nature at its bleakest time.
