Look upon the wind as another form of resistance training helping you to improve your strength and stamina. As for the rain, if one have the right clothing it shouldn't be a problem, if you are warm and dry on the inside you can enjoy the contrast with the outside. Think positive, it is character building, the mental strength you will gain from over coming these minor obstacles will help you when the going get really tough...

One little publicised fact is that 70% of the SAS are Scottish.

So, now we know that all we've got to do is to threaten to take your iPod off you.
