    How nice itis to be back on line after the absence of a year :razz: It has taken a while but all is now well after my heart attack last September.
    Obviously the format has changed somewhat and I have lost contact with
    all of my 'old' buddies at Toms, so I hope you lads will all chime in and let me
    know how you all are ~ Hamish, Muddy and my pal from Canada, along with many more, I look forward to hearing from you. Its good to be back.

    It is marvellous to hear from you again Jack, and to hear that you are well again. You will find many of your old friends from Tom's have moved here, together with many who you haven't met before. I am sure that your wise words on kilts and kilt wearing will be greatly appreciated here.

    For wet and winter walking, have your kilt about an inch shorter than usual-well clear of knee cap--it can cut down any banging of heavy wet edge on leg& water running off kilt and down legs-instead it flicks away.

    I've hiked all over in a Sportkilt, and found that all I needed was a rain jacket of one sort or another. I finally settled upon a Red Ledge Thunderlight parka, because it's pretty long and the pit zips are large enough to stick my arms out of if I get too hot inside of it, turning it into a kind of vest/tunic type thing. My kilt did get wet, but the PV material dries very quickly, especially while you're walking. I'm sure a poncho would work out just as well.
