Kids tend to have plenty of tracksuit bottoms, footie shirts and hoodies
Female kids tend not to - at least mine anyway. They do have an almost limitless supply of Primark leggings though.
Good read that Colin, the reality is that none of us who bike and run alone in the mountains ever take enough really, as we're constantly trying to stay light. I don't really have the same issues walking, obviously, when weight is less of an issue.
I keep meaning to buy one of those storm shelters, need to get it bought.
Lowlands?
A stick, my phone, SAK, and a whistle (there’s one on the rucksack buckle). Flask of tea. Sometimes peanut butter sarnie.
Pacamac, layers, cap or beanie, Buff, long shorts and running leggings beneath. Merino trekking socks. Lowa Renegade GTX boots suit my foot and are v comfortable, but the soles could be better in mud.
Don’t these days go mountain walking alone unless it’s summer and populated. Not as capable as I used to be.
Minimal first aid: Saline pod/s, butterfly strips, hydro colloidal blister plasters. O’Tom tick-twisters.
