Although the edge of the fabric doesn't say GORETEX but it is probably the same stuff
This is the older colour scheme on the yellow background, not the current one with the pale khaki base colour

Well Cecile had to go back today and found another length of Goretex. Lighter weight fabric and in the Arid colour palette.
She also found 40 metres of windproof 90GSM in the arid palette which she bought thinking Simon would be interested in it. He isn't so I'll list that later
I may just make a blanket tho or a hooded poncho blanket with some of it
