Something to keep my head from burning!!
Great day out today ( see under 'driving' - just one problem?
How do you keep your head sheltered from the lovely sunshine we've had today?
I've ended up with a red face, a Very Red forehead and a red patch on the top where my hair used to be!! And I've now got a headache,
too.
Before you suggest the obvious "get a hat" reply - remember they blow off!
What do you open - top veterans use?

beanie hat or cap attach a bit of fishing line to the cap and tie it to the harness
PS a tomato rubbed on to the sunburn reduces the burning (you have to cut it in half)

I'm follically challenged, so I've got a yachting hat (baseball cap made by Musto, or similar) that has a little strap and a clip at the
back - I put on the hat & clip it to my coat collar. Saying that - I usually wear ear protectors when on a run of any distance (to keep wind roar
down) so that keeps the hat in place.

get a hat
I use a baseball cap but with the cunning lanyard looped through the back and hung roung my neck, it does sometimes lift off but is retained and
recoverered.
On longer runs I use a crash helmet.
Regards Denis.
Where did that go?

JPSC club baseball cap. Lanyard (from a security pass) looped around the harness strap and attached to the back of cap. I also keep sun cream in the
car.

Yep! Lots of good ideas here to try out - the weather was very nice, but wasn't even really that hot today!
Crash helmet? WOT? don't be daft, Kipper and Daniel - I haven't built a car with a windscreen to wear a bloomin' helmet (but
thanks for the suggestions anyway!)
Likewise wasting a nice ripe juicy tomato on my mush ! Sorry, A30 man!
What's with the gaffer tape? Scuddy? Tape my hair back on
Factor 30 is a definite next time, though!
And what's this 'hair' stuff, Coozer? Smartarrdvark!

How about one of these helmets? All you need then is the wet celery and the egg whisk!

Staple a beanie hat to your ears - painful but effective
Cheers,

A buff works for me. http://www.buff.eu and look at the original buffs. Available from most good outdoor shops and some cycle shops.

You could try a "cap retainer"
http://www.watersportswarehouse.co.uk/shop/swim-beach/caps-hats-etc/clip-on-cap-retainer-684219.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=Merchant
Not used the company above it was the first hit in Google.
I know lots of people use them to good effect
