Jacket arrived in the post today from Sweatshop - looks pretty good and mighty lightweight - packs into its own back pocket and has a nifty belt so you can take it along without taking up space in a waist bag. Nice.

Looking at the weather reports, I should get a chance to try it out properly on Sunday at the Hadrian's Wall Half Marathon where the Met Office promises enough rain to wet your appetite well and proper. Can't believe it will be as wet as the Blaydon Race, though, and that was still mint.
