preparing for the walk

We've been taking hikes on weekends to prepare for the walking trip. This year, we are walking the Dales Way national trail in the Yorkshire Dales area, then off to a walking circuit in the southern region of the Lake District. Our recent cool, breezy days in the Bay Area have prepared us for the unpredictable, but often cool and wet weather of England.
I'm looking forward to the tasty beer.
cheers
