You and me both.

Does it come with a dog? If so sign me up.

I thought it should have wing mirrors.

Not sure that it would work for me as well as I am a big guy and I don't think I would get the coverage I need. I do use an umbrella though because I sweat profoundly in a poncho and the small trek umbrella allows my body to breathe. It's a good idea and I'm sure there are some people that this works for them!!! Ed

I don't like ponchos Altus or others, most rain gear simply steams up my glasses and I can't see anything with or without my specs. I do take an Australian made bush-hat type of head gear - good in the rain good in the sun and no worries about ot seeing anything.

I'm from the Pacific Northwest. 'nuff said.

Terrible idea! This completely takes away a great excuse to stay inside by the fire with a good glass of scotch.

 

[John Crawford Howell]

As I did in "Z" town, minus the scotch as I still needed to get to the Monte de Perdon that day. Had a cafe con leche instead. Ahhh, but once in Santiago...

I have taken to hats of late..
Use my Stetson locally which is brilliant in rainy weather, but too hot on the Camino after April May.
Now invested in straw like mid brimmed hat, brilliant in sun.
Reminds me, must see a dermalogist to get a possible melanoma checked, the risk is there...

But brollie, any kind, no thanks !

I'm from the Pacific Northwest

I come from the south west Pacific (also known as way down under)

So @John Crawford Howell , I assume Pacific Northwest means you come from either Russia or China.

Or has the world turned upside down while I was asleep.

But I do know what you mean about wind.

Clearly, we need to meet at the inn just above the ferry landing in Pictin and have a brew or two in front of the fireplace ;-)

 

[Tony Hutt]

Spoof, surely? Looks like something from a baby's pram/pushchair/stroller. Not to be used in a headwind!

Very doable by me. I'm off in two weeks to start walking from Canterbury to Reims, And to return next year (or so) to vomplete to Rome.

Can do Tuesday 13th or Wednesday, 14th August, depending on the timetables giving enough space

cheers

So what happens at 64mph? Do you take off in flight?

 

[BmoreNomadic]

"only" 1.5 kgs... enough said!

I wish it could be done, Alwyn. When I was living in Singapore, it would have been easy. Alas, I am in the San Juan Islands these days, but with fond memories of my business travels to your fair corner of our small planet. I'm off to Germany next week, but not for hiking. Best wishes to you on your upcoming trek to Reims.
