The snow is a great insulator. I spent a week once in the mountains during the winter and loved it. Hope to do more very soon! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six30 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 22 hours ago, MooN said: @gymwitch If you're going to windermere, there are about a gazillion hiking shops in and around the town ( or there used to be) and they often have sleeping bags "on display" so you can get a look at the size and shape. They are also usually full of helpfull info, once they have understood the parameters ( weight being less of a problem on a bike then when backpacking for example). Though I guess you need a bag before you go up there... I love the lake district, I grew up walking the fells every summer cos we had no money but an aunt who had a B&B in Ambleside... should imagine there is a few Hiking shops left if there was a gazillion of em . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from the content of this thread Id say that must be true Mind you I was booking up the ferry to bring the bikes back end of June and found myself booking nice apartments with a kitchen, a washing machine and a wide screen tv rather than campsites but then Im a bone fide fair weather camper and who knows what the weather will be doing then.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
