Rain rain go away - I am beginning to rust!!

How wet is too wet? At what point do you decide that despite the several layers of waterproofs that the rain has seeped through and you would probably be drier in the bath??

Well, this walk certainly had me pondering these little quandaries - that and thinking dark thoughts at our walk leader (who I do dearly love but occasionally wish for a more gentle pursuit of the great outdoors on days like these...)

Yes we are standing on the footpath .....

I had rain running down my nose when I took this picture. It hadn't started out this wet I have to admit, it was quite cool and cloudy and we were well wrapped up but from out of nowhere (well ok, the clouds) came this torrential rain!

We were up in the hills and it was beautiful wild scenery with mysterious lochs and brooding rocks.  

The boys, in particular Eldest absolutely loved the wildness of it all, he strode out ahead, shouldering his haversack while I struggled with my stupid knee. 

We sheltered in the lee of a stone wall for a much wanted tea and managed to eat our lunch before it was dissolved by the rain. 

Time to return to the car - head back to the carry-van to dry off and have a steaming pot of tea and cake - yum!
