Sheep? Waterproof?

Anyone who goes walking in the wild will have come across a dead sheep in a burn (stream). They fall in, get waterlogged and can't get out. Still, it's not all bad, the birds love the eyeballs....

Crikey, you know how to treat the lasses, Fatbelly! :grin:

Since I lost my lambland pad while going over a big feckin windy bridge in Scotland (I'd tucked it [badly] under the bungees for later use), I'll need a replacement - can you get seal pup ones? Must be waterproof, them. :shrug:

I got my missis to sew two wide elastic strips on mine and then I hook them around the seat. If you get a white undyed one then if it gets wet just take it off and shake it dry as the natural lanolin in the skin repels moisture  :rain:  if you get a dyed one this doesn't work as the lanolin is ruined by the dyeing process. When I'm camping I use mine as a pillow




Dood after all day in the saddle
With my sweaty arse am sure not Going to put my head anywhere near the sheepskin.
