That must have been mid winter at top of Kilimanjaro? 😆 We used to think it was freezing when temperature dropped below 10C!Plus dealing with the native wildlife, a tough environment for sure. Have heard of the RLI, a good thing to be able to “swing the lamp” about for sure. 👍
But “lovely and cool” the lowest I ever experienced on the Moor was -12c, more with windchill, that has its challenges as well, how the Finnish military operate so efficiently at -40 is beyond belief……I don’t do cold, not that cold anyway. I have experienced-20c in Africa though.
