Defend Against A Deluge
The sharper-eyed will have noticed that rain is pretty likely when you head anywhere north of Dover. Make sure you fork out for some effective waterproof kit, like the Finisterre Mistral Jacket (£185) and the Patagonia Torrentshell Pants (£80). Made with fabrics designed for dealing with harsh conditions, without taking away breathability. Good for when you’re sweating uphill in the rain.
