The floods which hit the Lake District last November have had an efffect on a lot of the walking routes in the area.

If you're planning a trip to the Lake District then a good website to visit is www.lakedistrict.gov.uk which gives detailed information of open and closed paths within the surrounding area.

"No Christmas is complete without the gift of a pair of socks!"

Our brasher socks are perfect for any activity - from dog walking to hillwalking, worn with multi active shoes or boots and there's even a pair suitable for those more adventurous relatives who spend their free time trekking up mountains.

Wool Ultra (shown below) are always a popular choice for keeping feet warm and toasty in the cold winter weather and with the choice of 2-3 or 3-4 season they will be the perfect addition to any stocking this Christmas.

All those style conscious ladies looking for a smart comfortable boot should take a look at the new Balboa.

These water-resistant leather boots are available in a choice of two colours (chocolate and mid brown) and look great worn with jeans or skirts. Plus with the additional benefit of a warm shearling lining they will definitely keep your feet toasty warm over the chiily winter months.
 

Full details and stockists can be found on our website.

A new line of cairns has now been completed by The Nevis Partnership. The work was carried out to ensure that walkers have a safe route to follow when snow is covering the usual route.

The cairns are 1.8metres in height and located at 50 metre intervals. It's still advisable for walkers to carry a map compass in the event of heavy snow when the cairns may become covered. 

Full details can be found on The Nevis Partnership website.

Look out for our adverts which will be appearing in national press throughout October.

This weekend we will feature in the Sunday Telegraph and the Mail on Sunday.
