andyp is spot on.. take old clothes
don't think cold, think wet..
keep warm, because you won't stay dry
merino baselayer and softshell jacket is your best bet..
we had +20 hrs of rain last year
but nothing below 10 deg C...
also rear lights.. buy several cheap ones
to throw away when batteries die..
lastly don't panic.. it won't be easy
but we should stick together..
stu and rob both from south wales
will keep your spirits up..
and kristian is a good wheel to follow..

I couldnt wear a soft shell. I'd cook. I have a fancey pants rapha pro team jacket, that is thinner than a softshell. Even thats been packed away untill autumm. I am a sweaty git.
I'm basically wearing a big merino baselayer. Just a modular one.
I'll look at getting a better rain jacket and use that instead of my wind jacket perhaps. Otherwise I'm happy.
I just Strava mapped it. As I can get lost in my own garden.
