For those hoping I meant dogging, or some other sexual activity I don't!
I walk at least three and a half miles first thing in the morning, and has the days are turning colder now I'm finding it more difficult to keep myself warm, in order to enjoy the countyside properly.
I don't want to wear loads of layers as as I do warm up a little bit, and then would get too hot end up carrying clothing....
I am already wearing a t-shirt long-sleeve vest another t-shirt on top, and a thin waterproof jacket, with yoga pants and trainers.
(I also occasionally get wet or damp feet, and I really don't want to wear wellies, this is not from walking in the rain, just when it has been raining or the grass is damp)
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank you |

Keeping feet warn and dry in wet grass is very difficult - you have to buy something like expensive walking boots with gortex linings, or the Dubarry type boots. Bodywarmers are the best for keeping warm when doing horses, they leave your arms properly free and vented. |

Do you wear a hat? - most of your heat loss will be through your head. If you wear a hat then the less of the other extra layers may help.
YOu may want to consider something like Sealskinz socks which are waterproof to keep your feet dry.
Failing that call me when your finished as I shall undress you put you in the bath wash your back then take you dry you off and warm you back up again.   |

You could buy some gortex socks? I bet you could pick some up from a Army surplus shop for less than a tenner, or ebay? |

Thank you so much for your suggestions.
I do wear a hat and gloves.
(They are just normal ones, maybe I need to look at some extra warmth, thinsulate items)
I will get a body warmer that sounds like a great idea on top of my jacket.
And I will look into those waterproof socks too.
What number do I need to call to have my bubble bath run please? |

I've had good yard boots from Ariat and Timberland - I can't see the point in buying waterproof sox and getting shoes soaking wet every day, you'd have to dry them out all the time! If you are walking across grass every morning, it will be wet every dau until next may lol!! |

As Horny Irish said, a hat will keep you from losing a lot of your body heat. You could try something like I have on in my profile picture.
Also how fast do you walk because you will find that if you walk at a brisk pace your metabolism will increase and warm your body up naturally.
Try and keep of the wet grass if you are wearing ordinary shoes or trainers to keep your feet dry as well. |

When I go out walking I wear a vented Helly Hensen Jacket or Trespass longer length Coat. Both are water/windproof. The Helly Hensen number is more lightweight as I can tend to sweat my arse off if I'm walking fast. I wear a wicking long sleeve top so if I do sweat I don't get chilly and then I wear a scarf and gloves. Can pop gloves in pockets if get too hot.
I have waterproof boots (in pic on profile) that were about £60. They're not fleecy so not overly warm, just normal socks and my feet stay dry.
The Tresspass coat is a lot warmer and thicker so a vest top, then long sleeve wicking top and gloves and scarf again and I'm good to go.
It rains a lot here (Wales) so the waterproof bit is the most important bit for me. As a big gal i warm up pretty quick so I try not to put on too many layers.
Invest in good boots I'd say and if your feet are warm and try that is half the battle and a cosy hat

Thank you so much everybody I have a really good idea now of what I need to get, some great ideas and pointers there that I haven't thought of.
Especially a wind and waterproof jacket I think that will make a massive difference.
Appreciated. |

this. I work outside all summer long and i'm a cheapskate with clothes I really am but not with boots. I won't blink at spending a couple of hundred quid on boots. festivals get notoriously muddy and I've happily spent whole soggy summers ankle deep in wet slop yet with warm comfy boots/feet. no fancy socks or anything. The same boots are great in snow and ice..lovely and cozy.
do some looking and get good boots every time |

I never had an issue with that when cycling, warm up balm on the legs with skin tights on (cycling ones), t shirt, cycling top and thermal top, gloves and hat.
Half an hour later and you were sweating buckets. |
