Get down to the North Face outlet at Cheshire Oaks and grab yourself some decent lightweight goretex trousers and jacket. They're a bit more expensive but last well and are well made, especially if you go for the summit series range. I've had other makes of trousers etc, like Craghoppers and they drop to bits after not to long. These do not.
After getting soaked through so often last year I decided to buy myself some decent kit.

I wear the Gill OS2 range. Amazing stuff. Lightweight, hard to tear, windproof and waterproof.
