Luckily I had a spare waterproof with me, a complete change of clothes and my waterproof bottoms - I virtually had to strip and do a complete change in the fire break in the woods dropping off Blea Moor which took ages because I was so cold. Luckily I soon warmed up after that.... and it stopped raining
