I'm very hairy so on exit I'd have my arms full of various seeds stuck in the hair...better than later in the summer when they serve to filter out flys and other strange insects.

So that is a real photo of you by the post!

It's a passable likeness

Cow parsley? Why's everybody on about cow parsley?

This forum's so unpredictable - you can never tell what's going to light people's fires! Anyway, I'm really glad I posted that photo because I was out today and the cow parsley has just about finished flowering - as has the Hawthorn (That's the white May blossom you can see in the distant hedges in the first photo). So that's your lot until next year when I'll do a special cow parsley portfolio for you

Apart from some dog roses and celandines, there's not much colour out there at the moment except green. And there are more shades of that than you can shake a stick at. Doesn't make for interesting photos though.

Colin - thanks for your concern about nettle stings. However, in the world of mountain bikers, avoiding pain is seen as pretty wimpy! Some of the magazines have a column where readers send in gory pictures of their injuries and compete for prizes. On the forums, if anybody shows the slightest tendency to complain about any sort of physical 'inconvenience' they're smartly told to MTFU (man the f*** up!). Shin pads for nettles - I don't think so!

I was a bit tentative through the foliage today as I kept getting images of a gorilla covered in twigs and leaves riding a bike in the opposite direction!
