Cornwall Wet Weather Rules…

.

There is no such thing as bad weather! . .

.

Just bad clothing!!

.

This is actually a quote from Alfred Wainwright

.

It was Alfred Wainwright – he of the many walking books – and his original wording, slightly different, was “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” His comment appeared in his 1973 book Coast to Coast, so is now 50 years old.
