          Bron – touched to be tagged. A bit worried about “Edale (Peak District, UK - except when raining)” – can you have a place you’d rather be with a condition that means you can never go?

          Well…

          I lived in Manchester while I did the PhD and would go whenever I was able and the outlook looked good. I actually only got rained on once and it would probably have actually been okay if I had not been with other people… I realised that stomping about in the mud isn’t everybody’s cup of tea.
