Wet suit and aqualung would have been more appropriate
You thawed out yet Col?
Corky, didn't quite make it, got as far as Horwich and it was pelting down, spent best part of an hour under the Texaco garage's roof, told you I don't do wet anymore
Col looked like a drowned rat when he rolled up. Take it you thought better of it and stayed well away from the area?

it wasnt raining until i started to go over the top from the black dog at belmont, by the time i got to the barn i was soaked.
been looking for a new wet weather suit and thought this would have been ok for today.
