What have you all packed ladies?

I wanted to wear Cropredy and band tee shirts, have lacked some, but might be too hot in them as they are all dark.

So also packed pale tees and sleeveless tees, with a pale sarong, a loose dress and a pale scarf.

Any other suggestions?

Stay safe all… ❤️

I've put a floaty dress or two in, plus I'm risking shorts (what the heck, it's a heatwave!), blouses and some T Shirts.  Left out most of my band T-shirts because they are too warm.

I’m bringing some lightweight long sleeved tops so I don’t have to keep reapplying sunscreen which makes me sweat.

Vest tee shirts 1 loose trousers and 1 linen plus 1 shorts I have no care what I look like I just need to stay cool.Don't have a floaty dress so can't pack one.

Dreading having to wear a bra :-(   If it's too hot I may just be a shameless hussy !

Dresses all the way for me, I dont want to feel hemmed in by T shirts or jeans.  I have a light coloured umbrella and that will be above my head at all times!

I have packed jeans for later in the evening but its going to be 23/24C at 11pm every night so I probably wont need them.

I am also bringing a water mist sprayer..  it made all the difference at FBTO when it was 33C, just spray it on and let the breeze (please god!) do its work!

Mist sprayer is an excellent idea. I’ve added a tiny bit of orange water to mine.

I didn’t think I’d need warm clothing but now the Sun’s gone down it’s a mite damp!

Definitely floaty dress tomorrow. And a Wim Hof shower! 🚿

I had a couple of sarongs which I draped over me after they had been soaked in cold water… helped a lot.

I loved Izzy’s water spray idea, will remember that.

I wore shorts all the time, never done that there before. I had a floaty dress, but was on mobility scooter and didn’t want to catch it on the wheels.

Same time , same place, less heat please!!
