Pole hose covered in mud, minibore in mud. Sometimes you need to pull off quite a lot to get round a corner without damaging the plants, and your hands are completely muddy too. I always work from the furthest point back, which helps, but still you need to pull the hose quite a bit sometimes. Not fun if you've got OCD, something to get used to I guess, always carry a cloth to wipe my hands on in rainy weather, foremost to keep the pole relatively clean.
Everytime you extend the pole you can hear the grit getting between the clamps, washed down SL-X and Superlite when I got home, what a pain, so far have been fortunate with the weather, been doing it now for 2,5 months, but dread the hoses everytime it rains.
When reeling in I use a damp cloth, so the hose is okay-ish again, but still dirty.
What a pain.

Do you get the backs of your legs plastered when you hook the hose up with your heel?
-
Get a hosepipe and flush the pole out from bottom to top,you don`t even need to take out the polehose.

Ha you don't know when you have it good!
Doing trad when the weather is like this is a total nightmare. The problem is, the mud sticks to your boots, which then goes on the ladder rungs.
You lean on the ladder rungs to reach the windows, and hey presto within an hour you look like a mud covered yeti.
WFP is a major blessing in wetter weather, mucky hoses are nothing!

You should be rolling in the mud & be thankful, wait till winter comes you'll be praying you only had mud to worry about!!! ;D
