This week: I’m packing my bags ahead of a trip to beautiful Keswick in the Lake District.
With the Keswick Mountain Festival almost upon me, it’s time to get my kit together before facing a 6-hour journey up-country. Over the course of several days, I will be photographing, podcasting, walking, kayaking, rock climbing and equipment testing – so it’s important that I take the necessary items.
In this week’s show, I’m talking through what gets put in – and left out of – my bags, to make sure I’m covered for all eventualities.
