Choosing a suitable walk in parks is becoming easier as the web offers a range of sites for ramblers to use.
Cumbria Tourist Board (www.golakes.co.uk) now offers walkers a link to www.lakedistrictoutdoors.co.uk which has a searchable data base of walks. You can look by region or type of walk.
This site also has information on climbing, cycling and water sports.
At www.thisisthelakedistrict.co.uk/lakesguide/a number of walks are outlined.
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.
If you believe that half the fun of a break is planning it, the Web is for you.
