Things to do for anyone who goes outside, the hardiest pursuits, or plenty for those who prefer to winter warm indoors with things to do. Places we go from here – Derbyshire, Manchester, Cheshire, The Pennines, The Lakes, Wales, Scotland, walking, running, climbing or cycling, history, archaeology, industry, natural history and architecture to explore. Guidebooks, routes and maps, ideas for trips out.

Wars and weather, swords and armour and magical weapons, hard boiled detectives, railways, nature walks, swimming, model making, sewing, crochet, knitting, fishing, pottery, the North Pole, espionage, gardening, beekeping, mending, explorers. Food and drink to keep you warm and alive, cocktails and firesides, with picture books and bedtime stories that you might remember with love. Read it in bed or don’t let the weather stop you, take a picnic and a flask, don’t get lost, unless it’s in a book.
