Last Friday I headed up to Glencoe for a weekend of hill walking. Being in Scotland and given that we are nearly into summer I knew that the weather would be near freezing with real possibilities of snow, hail and sleet.
Half way there I realised I had left my fleece-lined Berghaus jacket at home. Not wanting to miss out on the walking with my chums I needed a solution. The good old Green Welly Stop stocks most items of outdoor kit so I dived in there. On offer was a range of £140 waterproof jackets and a £2.50 plastic poncho.
I learned that the poncho tends to flap about your face in strong winds and does next to nothing to keep you dry in the process!
And I looked like a total wally!
