It doesn't look quite as beckoning in the winter does it?
However....strange though it may be people do keep coming through, there may not be as many people who want to do the coast to coast either on foot or on two wheels but there are some who want to up the challenge by doing it in the winter.
The winter walkers tend to be better wrapped, more wet weather gear and with the addition of flares (which they don't have in summer)
I am guessing that you all understand that by 'flares' I don't mean the baggy trouser that was so common in the 70's...although saying that, it's quite hard to see what is under the wet weather gear and some of these people are a bit retro.
Cyclists however wear exactly the same skin tight lycra, perhaps there is such a thing as winter skin tight lycra and if there is I don't know about it.
But the cyclists all wear the same, in any season, in any weather.
A whole group of them have just cycled past my window as I write, short sleeved tight fluorescent t-shirts, skin tight shorts and a bright hard hat and shades and talking about how cold it is....
