Bear in mind that this is the UK -- our weather can be very unpredictable. If it's bright and sunny in the morning before setting off on a walk, it'll probably be raining hard by lunchtime..! In the winter-ish months (i.e. October - April) warm stuff is strongly advised (gloves, woolly-hat, fleece, etc.).
