Although some of the stone-circle sites in Lewis will be just off the main roads, I’m more interested in remote locations, and that involves traipsing through bogs and probable muddy situations. So I ordered a pair of waterproof, fleecy-lined trousers off eBay, which arrived today. Great quality for £6, but oops, they’re size small. Aside from the tragic muffin-topping, they’re about 2 inches too short. Now I’m not looking to win any style contests, but their sole purpose was to shield me from the peaty messes and horizontal rains. At least my knees will stay dry while my boots slowly fill up with marshy goodness.
