Not so many years ago I went for extended walks each February and usually didn't find too many really hots days, but over recent years have struck runs of hot days on end. I swore I would avoid walks until late Feb but after a while I weaken and head out and get caught again and once more swear not again. The last crook one was in Feb 2007 when we went to the Eldons and struck mid 30s and and half the SW on fire.
Since being retired I have, except for the aberrations mentioned above, planned walks when the long range forecast is for low 20s. We had planned on a 4 day walk north of the Walls via Little Fisher and Long Tarns, but when the forecast was for hot conditions decided to postpone.
Your comment makes me feel happy with my decision and am glad to have avoided the heat there.
Cheers
Peter
