Have a good time. Please find out from the locals if the snow is going to be good this Christmas as I'm anxious to get things booked! :lol:

If you go to the Lake District at least you will be close to indoor activities in Blackpool :D

Have fun :)

Salski, where were you in the Lakes?

On that occasion we were staying in Grasmere (a fantastic house called Little Parrock) but we did our open canoe tour & BBQ on Derwent Water & climbed nearby on Shepherd's Crag. I'm a huge fan of the Lake Distrit & used to go walking there regularly - generally staying in the Langdale area. Nowadays we always head to the North Norfolk coast where we go sailing but I will have to try & organise a few days back up there again - I miss it!

:shock: What a bizzare accident! :mrgreen:

have heard you can seal them with wax-i have already asked about getting the stitched and cant

Rossyhead - try mending them with 'Stormseal Repair Adhesive'. It's amazing stuff & we've used to great effect on outdoor clothing, tents, sails, leather furniture etc. It' about £5.00 per tube from outdoor/camping shops & is like a clear mastic. You can do a really neat job with it if you bring the ripped surfaces together on the good side & tape them in place. Apply the Stormseal on the reverse side & leave to dry. Remove the tape & you should have an almost invisible mend which will be really strong.

We always keep some with us as it can be used for so many things.
