Kit notes
Cheapo lobster gloves from Aldi were toasty warm in the dry but not at all waterproof, which is fair enough because they didn't claim to be. They were positively hygroscopic, capable of holding my bodyweight in freezing cold water.
Spraying my Endura cycling trousers with Fabsil makes the house stink but does not have any positive effect on their performance in rainy weather.
The rain washed all the mud off my super Northwave boots. They are clean for the first time in recent memory. Feet stayed warm.
Lining my handlebar bag with an Alpkit waterproof stuffsack was a very good idea. My Haribos were kept perfectly dry.
