Yeah, I know. It hurt, but it was kind of neat, too. I got this one photo (should have gotten a pic of all of the hail strewn on the ground, but I was too busy running for cover...)

I had a little day pack with a cheese sandwich and some water, and a ticket for the very last castle tour of the day, and as soon as I got there I headed for the hills and started hiking. I went up and up and up... I have a photo somewhere of the sign that says in German "Don't go past here without safety equipment"... right before I blew right past it. Weather blew in, and I was now hiking on bare rock on a saddle at what seemed like the roof of the world. It was the most terrified I had ever been, and also the most alive I had ever felt. I DID turn around when the path became essentially vertical.
I made it back, and am proud to say that I was the sweatiest, stinkiest tourist on the Neuschwanstein Castle tour that day.
Where were you & your Gorilla tape before I found & ordered EPDM rubber sheeting from Amazon in something less than a full roll? Probably laying in the grass making "hail angels"
Sounds like a great idea, though; I'll keep it in mind for next time.
Did you ever have the opportunity to watch The Red Green Show? I loved duct tape before then - after that I worshiped it. I consider Gorilla Tape as duct tape 2.0...
OMG, hail angels, why didn't I think of that?!!!!
I am TOTALLY doing that that next time.
Friggin' Texas weather - I'm sure it'll happen again within the week... in the middle of 90+ degree weather, of course. AGAIN.

So, hail storm? Not an issue.
Aw, you're just a big pussy cat. You have a pink 'bator, after all...
