So who managed to get out in the first real rain we have had for ages, about 3 pm yesterday afternoon it started so I put on my rain outfit and went out for a walk to again enjoy the rain, I was out for about one and a half hours before it stopped raining but luckily early evening it started again so I put my rain outfit back on and went out for another walk in the rain, this time it was that fine drizzle and the wind had got up so after a short while my nylon raincoat was now nice and shiny from the rain constantly hitting me again another great hour out in the rain hope it's the start of a good rainy season. Did anyone else get out in the rain yesterday.

I was definitely out in it yesterday, I went for a couple of walks on Dartmoor where it rained heavily.

Have a lovely ride and here's hoping you get really wet, in the best of intentions of course

Out in the rain and wind on the Preseli Hills yesterday hooded in goretex over down for several hours. Wish I'd had a similarly dressed guy with me to exchange our thoughts!

Will definitely be out in my lovely nylon waterproof puddle suit again today.
But out in the back garden sorting out my shed.
Hopefully it will rain really heavy like yesterday's showers.
Was fun getting my nylon suit nice and wet with proper rain.
