Title: Good Afternoon all
Post by: markkitch on 16:15:08, 29/08/20
Just joined, hello all, can't believe how big this forum is.


Recently started long distance walking with the missus, did the Dalesway last year in 5 days and was supposed to be doing the Cleveland way this year until the virus hit.
That's moved out to May 2021 now but hoping to get some 2 dayers in before then.


I'll no doubt be bombarding the group with questions about waterproofs in the next few weeks.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Where are you based?


As for waterproofs I have yet to be convinced that anything is breathable when it is raining. You still end up wet one way or another.

Welcome from Portsmouth. Waterproofs, or waterproof trousers, in my case never wear them, I wear a rain skirt!   O0
