Going as far West as you can nearly get as it's a 250 mile round trip in the rain to Penzance on the cards today. Time to get the overgloves out - one hand had a 20 year old Rukka on it, the other had a brand new Rainoff overglove on it. Finally get to do the overglove road test!!!!.
Chucking it down and misty with it - couldn't see nothing but 50 yards in front. By the time I got to Bodmin Moor the Rukka was back in the top box - the mitten design made it feel clumsy and water was running down into it as the elasticated opening wasn't tight enough. The Rainoffs on the other hand were brilliant, wore them all day and no problems whatsoever. Gloves stayed dry, the windproof qualities kept hands warm, plenty of feel and control with them on. Visited a RBR landmark on Bodmin Moor, but the mist and drizzle was so low that I couldn't see it from a distance and had to virtually bump into it before I found it. One thing, must be a fantastic view from it on a clear day.( can't say where it was exactly until end of October - rules of the rally. It was big though - nearly as big as a cathedral!!??)
Meandering route from Cheriton Bishop to Tavistock via the Lydford Gorge, across to Liskeard, St Austell, Truro, Helston and ended up in Penzance. At St Michaels Mount, watched the kite surfers for a while and then headed back the quick way along the A30 all the way.
