No, although after a couple days of my company it might be the case ;D

As my comments were hidden (stupidly) in the admin board, here is wot I rote...

As a courtesy, I have ordered a free pack of lateral flow tests so others on the trip will know I wasn't carrying the lurgy when I took the test...

It would be reassuring if others consider doing the same.

You can order packs of 7 (which is about a month's worth at 2 a week) from here...

...ordered mine yesterday and they are here today. Allegedly!  Brian

Unfortunately Glen (Bruno) will not be joining us, he's had a bit of a mishap with heat, not serious but prevents him from riding.
So there is now a room available at the B&B if anyone wants it.

As the trip gets closer my thoughts are turning to which kit to wear, I've been out to day in my mesh jacket and trousers. With temperatures up to 26 C it was a godsend. However if it turns to rain it's a pain to stop and put either the waterproof liners in or overjacket and trousers. Decisions, decisions  ???

I've just been doing the same thinking. So far I'm edging towards my mesh jacket and carrying the oversized black waterproof thingy someone gave me to put on top if it pours down. Though any small showers shouldn't be a bother with the otherwise nice weather. If I stick with this plan I will probably also switch armour from normal jacket to this, as the stock in the mesh one don't feel as good as my orange stuff.

Of course we've had all weathers over the last few trips so who knows!

Trousers are easy though as I only have one pair :P.

Anyway yes, if under the mesh jacket it's just a base layer, then there's not much left to get soaked. If it properly turns then I imagine we'll pull over and do it properly. Which reminds me I should add "mid layer" to my packing list!

Mesh cover over the horse blanket that passes for a Halvarssons safety jacket. Trousers gotre tex liners out and full 2 piece in the waterproofs in the Sport Case.

You needn't worry about stopping to get togged up, it only takes a few drops and I'm in the pits...

I'm edging towards leather (like I have a choice) with a compromise of summer gloves. If I can find CE Level 2 ones. Just so at least two parts of my body can perspire freely.  :o

I have no problems with the group stopping to put raingear on. In fact I'd encourage it. No point suffering for just 5 mins of getting kit on. You lot might not be used to it, but its par for the course for me.

Of course we could put our faith in the weather forecasters  ;D ;D ;D and get togged up according to their advice  ??? :-[

I have it on good authority that none of the reputable weather forecasters ever leave home without a brolly or full waterproofs...
