Title – Rain Storm
Date – September 1999
Location - Ghizo Island – Solomon Islands
As much as the weather is unpredictable it is also ‘predictable’. Rain in the tropics is an experience to behold. For most of us very heavy rain storms are beasts that we see only rarely in our own country, but go to the tropics and rain is always that way, the gentle drizzle that UK is famous for doesn’t seem to happen here. In the Solomon Islands an afternoon rain storm was not unusual and you had to be prepared for the fact that if you got caught out in it, then you got wet; not damp, wet!
Beyond The Blue as part of its Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop examines the equipment requirements for your forthcoming trip. We examine the countries you will be visiting and the all important climatic information. Taking the right level of equipment and clothing as well as the right type, will make a big difference to how comfortable an experience you have.
