Just thinking of the forthcoming trip to the lakes and the inlaws, now with snow and strong winds it got me thinking (ouch). Imagine for a minute, you have planned to go out for a walk of around 10 miles through woodland and country roads/public footpaths etc. The weather is dull and the forecast is possible snow/rain. Do you still go taking with you the food/stove clothing etc or do you stay put indoors not wanting to risk getting caught stuck miles from home?
