Umbrellas for Rainy Lockdown Walks

1 May 2020 | Admin

First of all - and most importantly - we hope all of our customers are keeping safe and well during these unusual times. And boy, these are unusual times indeed! As we enter May, the UK is still very much on lockdown and although the weather over the past few weeks has been sunny (for most of us), we are now starting to see those April showers make a very late appearance!

During lockdown the Government is recommending that we still get some exercise once a day by taking a walk outdoors. It's a fine balancing act between maintaining social distancing in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19, while also ensuring that people remain active and healthy, physically and mentally.

I know I personally look forward to that time outdoors each day, and it was made all the more enjoyable while it was sunny. However, now that we are seeing some Spring showers, I do make sure I reach for a brolly before heading out now.

In today's blog post I thought we would look through some fantastic clear dome umbrellas for those rainy lockdown walks. The dome umbrella is the perfect choice! They keep your head well sheltered, while also allowing you to see the way ahead. In these social-distancing times this is useful as it allows us to anticipate bumping into others and maintain that important 2m distance!

So, let's have a little browse through some of our favourites...
