Heehee, familiar with hail induced pain!
Fortunately, my delightful navigator, the lovely Clare, formerly of MogMag (wonder how she is getting on?), erected her umbrella once we'd pulled into a small side road. Pointless trying erect the hood on my first (1976) 4/4 after it shrank a little. Meanwhile, the two gents who followed us (you know who you are!!

) decided to erect the AW easy up hood. By the time hood was up they were sitting in a "pool" of ice

Not the first time I'd been caught in a hail storm and no doubt will not be the last!
It's called the joy of Morganning. Just make sure you dry things out once home
