British winter weather is as fickle as its summer weather - some glorious crisp and sunny days but an equal measure of grey, damp, bitter days when the cloud cover barely rises above the tree line.

It’s easy on those days to pine for the return of summer or even a glorious Alpine winter, but with a few tweaks you can create a pocket of adventure that is fun, rewarding and returns you to the moral high ground of showing winter that you’re not giving up!
