Technically speaking it was spring, but it felt like summer, and for most of the day I wore shorts and T-shirt, pulling the Talon out of the sack as a cool evening breeze brushed across the Cairngorm plateau. I popped my arms out of the sleeves for the final climb to the summit of Cairngorm and slipped them back in again for the descent. Chris (TGO gear editor) stayed in his merino shirt throughout and the difference in our metabolism was apparent. In comparison to my wife I run hot, but compared to Chris I was feeling the cold.
