Guess who the silly prat was who forgot his gloves?

:))

I suppose after that you didn't forget them very often, did you?

what fun to see this. you may have cold hands, but none of you look all to pleased with the cold.

Mind you, I found the warmest place for my hands (more or less!)

Tu fais dans les archives

Oh dear...............painful..!! Still, at least you had the view to enjoy :-D

What it is to be young ! Done that many a time. Now I have little pairs of Thinsulate gloves everywhere.

:-))) ! Good Morning, Andy !

I never forgot my gloves again but, on the very next trip, I forgot my sleeping bag!!! :o(

T'as fait exprès pour t'enfiler dans le sac de quelqu'un d'autre! :) lol

Very true, Therese - I was lucky that my girlfriend took pity on me!!!!!

The others look cold too;-)

oh yes, it looks very cold.

Percy,
Richard,
Thank you!

A great shot from your past here Andy .. looks a little chilly so i bet you really missed thise Gloves ... the day we did this route it was quite sunny :))

Best wishes ... Steve

I think I must have done it a couple of dozen times between 1977 and 1984, Steve - and in all conditions!.

Keep your hands in your pockets and hope you don't slip and can't get them out in time to catch yourself. :-(

I survived somehow!

Once upon a time . . .

a document¡¡¡¡

I'm sure we've all done it, Andy... :)) YS.

Many thanks to you all.Have a good week!

I don´t know what I wrote on Pano Andy but I remember that shot ;)
In german we say "nur die Harten kommen in den Garten".....hope
you find out what I mean ;)))
Have a nice sunday evening...summer is back in town here ;)

Hi Tanja, I replied too soon, before your comment came through!
Sadly, we can't look on Pano to see what you wrote! And sadly my German isn't good enough to translate - something about the heart not coming into the garden - sorry - please translate! The translation service here won't do it if there are already two languages in a comment. The poor thing gets very confused!!! :o)
Here it has been horribly sticky - humid - the whole of Madrid is waiting desperately for the promised storm to come and break the dreary, stifling, sultry, very hot and unseasonal weather!
Have a good week!
Andy

Heya Andy...I´m glad to live in the country those days. You know, I like the british summer but may in germany is one of the most beautiful months..not to hot and everythings green!
"Nur die Harten kommen in den Garten" means something like "only the brave get into the garden". If someone´s complaining about bad weather or wearing the wrong clothes outside, we pat on his shoulder an say "nur die Harten kommen in´n Garten". That´s no offence..just a little joke ;)
Have a good week and I hope you will be saved from this horrible weather!

Tanja ;)

Yes, I get it now! Thanks Tanja.
Forecast heavy rain but it still hasn't broken; still stuffy and hot, even at this time of morning! We're used to heat here in Madrid but not humidity! We associate THAT kind of unpleasantness with Barcelona!
Have a good week.
best wishes,
Andy

Many thanks Tanja. Have a good week!

At least you had pockets...but I bet you didn't forget them again!?

Nice!

:), beau souvenir!

Thank you all!
I carry gloves every day, even now!

:-D)
I love this image, Andy!!!!!
The whole courageous group of young students look frozen!
Not only the one ..without gloves.
Heroes! in my opinion!
And I'm not kidding at all!
:-)
Best wishes, Bea

No heroes here, Bea! (Apart from the gentleman sitting at the top - a professor from Hungary and a 'character' with a fascinating life experience in WW II and after which I didn't know about until I read his obituary in The Times in 2008. I wish I had known much earlier - I would have loved to have talked to him!)

Annemarie,
Erich,
Bea,
Thank you all!

Thank you Ramon.

un vieux et beau souvenir ! ***********

Merci beaucoup, natur'ELLE!

I forget, Ian. Probably not but let us just say that I would have been a damn sight more comfortable!

Thank you, Amelia.

But how does one press a shutter button with gloves on? You all look frozen stiff. ;-)

I can't remember how we did this. Someone took the shot with my camera. My excuse probably was that I couldn't feel my fingers!

Hi Andy

Thank you for sharing this!
Maybe you could attach your gloves to your jacket with a short bit of string (or ribbon), then you would never forget them or loose them!!
These mountains can be dangerous, especially in winter!

Best Wishes
Peter

Thanks Peter!
I never forgot them again!
We used to come here a lot and always had some among us who were experienced and knew what they were doing. But you are quite right!
Best wishes,
Andy

You could have taken your hat off to warm your hands whilst resting.

I didn't want cold ears - I couldn't put THEM in my pockets!!!

Cold hands or cold lugs: it's a bitter choice. But you got a wonderfully dramatic shot out of it.
Were the sleeves of your jumper not long enough to pull down over your wrists?

I can't remember. I probably forgot my jumper as well! But I think I can just see my trusty Leeds Utd scarf!

what a warming summer feeling, Hubs

Nice comment, Hubs!

Obviously it wasn't that bad; I guess you still own all your fingers after this adventure ;-)

True!!! Many thanks

Superbe aussi Andy

Thank you, Rol!

Many thanks, Dashur!

I like these old style pictures. In fact it's not a style, they are old and charming...
This one reminds me the polaroids shot with a Landcamera SX 70 (I still use mine...)

Thank you, Andrea! I was struck by the colour of the clothing! I don't recall those days as being so colourful! After all, colour TV only came into Britain 10 years before this! I was still using a black and white TV well into the 90s!

this is a great photo and what a no gloves day! I have some photos from 1960s on top of mountains in terrible weather and the bright colours are a feature. I’ll post an example :-)
