Community Scotch-land trip May 2024

[Markduc]

So I was trying to make my gear work and finally said F'it and went with a Klim 2 piece which will save having to throw on a rain layer on top when needed. With the core and additional layers hopefully I won't be too hot, I may have to pick up a set of gloves, for now I'm going with what I have an deal with it later if need be.

Too hot it’s scotch land , you’ll all be like this on day 2

That's perfect...I'm expecting colder temps and precipitation. Not crazy about the wet, but "it's all about the experience" as Lady K often says.
