    "(and you can get an enormous amount in some pockets) "

    I know - I can get a pair of trousers in one Humvee rear pocket and a spare jumper in the other, alongside all the usual phone, keys, cards, receipts, antihistamines, receipts, oatcakes and receipts in the other pockets. It's these skin-tight jersey things with wee pockets in the small of the back which don't look very capacious, particularly when worn by people wearing shorts without pockets. Do people still carry old newspapers with them to put down their tops on chilly descents, or has that been supplanted since the invention of the merino sheep?

    I've done one HC (Kitzbuhelerhorn topping out at an annoying 1996m) and 4 cat 2s in the Tirol

    Lots of Cat 3s according to Veloviewer - the main Scottish ones I've done are Bathgate Alps, Cleish hill and the String and the Ross on Arran. They also say Gogar to Harlaw is a Cat 3 but I don't seriously believe that.

    I prefer going up to down - don't trust Scottish Road surfaces enough to really let go on descents.

    I can get a surprising amount in my jersey pockets - it can look a bit odd though. Rapha do very expensive lycra shorts with pockets in.

    Merino sheep are quite heavy. You could use a roadkill rabbit instead
