Preparation in the Lake District

The title of this post is a lie really ... Not so much preparation as "relaxation" but it was in an outdoor environment right?
Well, not really - the weather was pretty brutal from start to finish, flooding, 60+ mph winds forecast over the fells! I spent a good amount of time indoors and doing jobs around the house. It was useful to know that my relatively new boots (something like my 6th pair over the past 10 years) weren't waterproof - sustained horizontal rain finds a way!

The photo is from one high walk between weather windows that I managed with a friend. The hail started at the summit of Place Fell and we hurried off the top. Walking back in the snow/hail was beautiful, it's just a shame that it all turns to slush and rain at lower altitudes.
