Walking 26.2 miles from Glencoe to Fort William along the West Highland Way, we will be out for at least 8 hours and I seem to react to the sun much more lately so best be prepared!

It got warm my arms didn’t but I like a bit of sun so I took them off. It will be interesting to see how cool they keep you if we ever get any hot weather. Good point re midgies too.

Rosehip May 2021 8:35pm, 4 May 2021 20,960 posts	0 Rosehip I don't think I could wear arm warmers/sun sleeves - even in the winter, I tend to roll my sleeves up after a while unless it's really wet and yucky You used to be able to buy sun cream that had jungle formula insect repellant in it - I haven't bought any since I stopped going to Singapore for work, however long ago that was, though. - but thanks for the reminder to put suncream into my pack for long runs, I need to reapply it to my face if I'm going to avoid sunburnt nose again - if the sun ever shows itself again that is. I bought a really thin, white cap to see if I could run wearing one, seemed a sensible thing to do. Not sure how to keep it on my head though.
