Description

Stout shoes are essential. Personally, when roughstuffing in this area, I carry climbing boots and socks, and change into them where necessary. A cyclist pushing his machine whilst wearing climbing boots may well look a little incongruous. A cyclist wearing shoes, lying beside his machine with a broken ankle, looks even worse and brings little credit to the cycling movement. A compass, a one-inch map, food, warm and waterproof clothing, should also be standard equipment It is well to remember that weather conditions in the Lakes can change hourly
