Dont suppose theres any advice on this one except avoid the rain ! Rich Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was pretty clear so we thought it was just odd condensation or something. And, being in Lemming(tm) mode, I followed the others out. I understand why some exited on their back. Went up into a sit after my face started to hurt. Another drawback is the ened to dry out your canopy/rig. But still, it was an experience. My whuffo friends think I'm an idiot when i point out that "rain hurts" though.

You just get the rain pelting your ass. Of course maybe you're into that kinda thing... ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!
