Paramo-proof; 12 May
They may refuse to sponsor me but I’m still happy to push Paramo waterproofs as the way to go in Scotland. Today happened to have a shop window effect- hence the blog title- but all the Skye Guides use the jackets and I use waterproof trousers in the same material made to measure by Cioch Direct here on the island. It’s durability as well as vastly superior breathability to most other materials makes it ideal.
Gill and Matt reported over the past 2 days that the weather looked far worse than it was and that was certainly the case today. Apart from 3 heavy showers that each lasted no more than 5 minutes we stayed dry although the rocks remained damp. We traversed the skyline of Coire a’ Ghreadaidh (grade 3) by the 3 Munros in about 7 hours.
