Have never known anything waterproof yet.
Always gets you in the crotch.
Take plenty of dry underwear.

Best I've had was waxed cottons with tight collar and overmits + wellies.
Several Bristol - London trips on the old 500T with virtually zero ingress.
Just remembered that there were no lights on M4 until Maidenhead. A great relief to get there.

Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?
Re: Wales Weekend June 21st to 23rd 2019
Them was the days eh Larry.
My suit was a rubberized cotten, weighed a ton, let every watt of heat from your body and did I mention was heavy. Dreadful kit , but it was what was available. Modern kit is much lighter, and still leaks-------somewhere.
Will probably find out this weekend.but at least there will be heaters to dry your kit overnight so not so bad.
See you all Friday.
