Let your keyboard do the walking before you go out.
Cumbria Tourist Board (www.golakes.co.uk) will link you through to www.lakedistrictoutdoors.co.uk - a great resource for ramblers. It has a searchable data base of walks - and you can look by region or type of walk.
This site also has information on climbing, cycling and water sports.
If you are being drawn into the Yorkshire Dales, the new www.traveldales.org.uk is a strong one-stop web site, offering how to get there directions and over 20 links to walking related sites.
At www.thisisthelakedistrict.co.uk/lakesguide/we are looking for contributors to tell us about walks, web sites for ramblers, recommendations.
Contact the Web Editor to explore opportunities online.
If you believe that half the fun of a break is planning it, the Web is for you.
