Carrie also suggested that I look at rain jackets because my jacket leaks at the shoulders. I brushed off the suggestion, saying that getting a little wet hadn&#8217;t been bad so far. So guess what happened today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It rained a lot. It came in waves. There was even a point where I was down to a shirt and shorts like the good old days in sunny Ireland, but then another wave of rain came and I had to don all my waterproofs. After a good douse I was regretting not buying a new rain jacket. Now I have to tough it out with my spent jacket until we get to Aberdeen, the end of our journey in Scotland. I hope that at least one day in Scotland we&#8217;ll get to have a rain free day. But I&#8217;m not counting on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to our Warmshowers host Karen, we were able to plan a route for the next week or so that will be taking us to the remote northwest of Scotland.
