Love the jacket. I’ve got that one too, in bright red (to be seen!).

Get a pair of fjallraven trousers they’re not waterproof but water resistant then pair then with these for when you need them. You can adapt a lot of their trousers with wax to make them more water resistant and then remove it for the summer so you can use them all year round.

Tis a good jacket, I have it in Red. Keeps the rain out even you do something daft like go on the Cairngorm plateau in 90mph winds and have to literally crawl off the mountain.

I have the Tupilak trousers but they are probably a bit overkill for walking.

I'd suggest Paramo Velez trousers - you wear them like normal trousers rather than as over trousers. Over trousers require you to decide to put them on/take them off when you think it's going to rain, or if it's already started raining, and often you won't bother. With the Velez they're already on.

They also have venting zips, which are a great addition and something I now look for in all my outdoor trousers like Fjallraven and Montane.

The Paramo Velez are not suitable for scrambling though due to the material. Frankly no waterproof trousers are, unless you're going for waxed trousers which are then heavier and with much reduced breathability.

Mmm I do scramble up rocks quite a bit when I walk to and up Rough Tor rather than taking the longer path so there is always knee and thigh to rock contact (terrain example in background)

Need reasons to justify buying one of these. Can you share where you got it from at a discount? Just seeing full price on the main site. Thanking you.

Going a bit off piste with showing your food in the foreground and the landscape in the background. Quite a change from the Veggie nonsense :p

I have one as well, didn't hold up that well being a postman for years, couldn't get it waterproofed again very well after it starting wetting out.

Apparently the toaster has a climate sensing cycle, so presumably it's IQ will drop to the average shoe size and it'll start spraying orange paint everywhere when the sun comes out, it rains, snows or is cloudy, maybe?

The OG Dualit design from the 50s still has all parts available, one of those truly for-life purchases!

The reason I bought a Kitchen Aid stand mixer is because of the design hasn’t changed (much) for decades. Ironically I bought a Kenwood toaster back in 2015, but still works fine today.
 
Some threadlocker - I bought a 1960s NHS hostess trolley for my car washing gear and it has wobbled itself lose.

Dualit club checking in, too. I had thought their cheaper options (Architect, etc) were not UK made. Seems they all are?

(altho mine is the new fancy model [about 7 years old IIRC] and includes a dial to disable slots. 1, 2, or 4 pieces of toast. Sorry @robfosters you are just WRONG saying 3 is the answer. My toaster isn't compatible with it).
