Great idea, then you can hike the other way round!

Now, you see, that's where this topic started,the guy who is struggling with his hiking 'cause he has got old wooden windows drafty conditions, chill in the old nether regions muscles ache hence can't hike. Simples.
When they say you are too old you probably are, but do it anyway.

Old wooden windows in old properties have drafts, history and character, what this country needs. Plastic windows are new and convenient.  Wars were won with wooden windows and coal.

What's wrong with plastic windows?

I have seen something that might work, used in cycling to measure the angle bend of the knee.  I know what's comfortable and what's not and a process of trial and error or two-boat tuning has led to decent results in the past.... I'm just wondering if anyone out in the world of 'sports science' has ever looked at this, obviously it has been done for cycling

And as to disgusting almost pornographic displays as have often been witnessed on these boards I'm only pleased that both Google and M**rosoft are now combining in their efforts to prevent search engine access..

Good Lord, errr...thingy, for once I find myself agreeing with you. In my case I adopt an 'elegant lean' at most. 'Why hike when you can spill'.

You could also set up onshore, get some pics taken or get someone good to have a look at you.  I was out watching a beginner yesterday.  So many of his issues could easily be fixed by getting his posture and ergonomics right.  Never underestimate the value of the land drill.
the same, but different...
