Essential clothing:

1)  As many gloves as I can afford – on one wet day I could get through 3-4 pairs, if there is a wet week I’m in trouble

You can see them all drying out here after last weeks rather wet spell

2)  Hats.  Essential all year round for protection from sun and rain. So woolly and warm in the winter and with a large brim or peak in the summer
