    1. If you can't afford waterproof boots or gloves, try carrier bags on your feet before putting your boots on, and diesel gloves from petrol stations before putting your gloves on...

    Another tip next week.

    Did the carrier bag trick for years before I could afford to invest in waterproof socks! ;D

    And yes I do have waterproof boots nowadays!

    2. Always carry a can of tyre repair foam. It's not nice to get stuck somewhere, in the middle of nowhere, with no one to call apart from the rip-off breakdown services. It's gotten me out of trouble on occasions.

    Another tip next week.

    I addition I always carry a couple of cable ties. Same reason, if somthing drops off (or you break it!) you can usually tie it back on and get home rather than wait for recovery.!!!
