Didn't realize this was a more UK-EU oriented site, but I do live in a place with the most similar weather to the UK, the Pacific Northwest USA.
Like you wild campers from the UK, we also think that our region is the only place in the world with cold rain. We both believe our rain is 1,000% more wet than rain anywhere else in the world.
Seriously though, we have more in common than I do with most other areas of the USA that don't suffer from the same climate issues. Our review sites based in California or Utah would be like someone from southern Italy giving rain gear and shoe advice to people in Scotland.

Hello to all Trek-liters and lite trekkers! I've been lurking here for quite a while and/or I thought I had introduced myself already, but apparently not. So. I live in Finland, love hiking in Lapland and Britain (especially Scotland) and am owned by a dog who usually accompanies me on my domestic trips all year round. I'll be walking across Scotland next month (again) and trying to whip up some fancy thingies like a lightweight sleeping mat sheet that turns into a chair, a rain skirt and a water bottle holder before that. I've spent days reading through the MYOG threads here and they have been very helpful!

Good day everyone. I'm Allan from South Yorkshire.
My passion is fell running and
I came across Trek-Lite after researching Hiking and fastpacking? whilst being fuelled on a meat based diet.
After reading various threads and getting distracted by other posts, i belive i could learn a great deal from you all as a community. Feeling that 'lurking' is no longer feeling comfortable, I've decided to see if there's room on a peg for my cap.
Thank you all for the knowledge and experience shared openly.
Kind Regards from the South Shire,
Allan
