Having reviewed the most common comments we came across recently at a show, we thought we would answer the top 3 for you this week :
"What can we do on a retreat if it rains and we can't go out walking?"
Have a back up plan, shorter back up walk, or have at least some of your retreat activities that can still work if the rain arrives.
* Have a sauna session booked in and talk to us if you need to switch it to see if this is possible.
* Drive to Farfield Mill and spend a few hours visiting the exhibitions, art and cafe there.
* Plan a studio activity with a local artist.
* Sedbergh is a Book Town, so there are a lot of options to go and search the shops for new, secondhand and even free books to bring back and read in front of one of the log burning stoves back here.
Of course, it does rain and shine in Cumbria so have some flexibility in your plans and a great retreat is still possible.
