I have hired a cosy cottage for two with a fireplace.

He'll be doing some peeking down a bird's chest.

Have a nice time but I'm from that neck of the woods and late January is a grim as fuck time of year to be going there.

So that's why the cottage was cheap

You ever see American Werewolf In London? The opening scene on the Yorkshire moors? When it's pissing down with rain, foggy as fuck and the 2 lads are freezing their bollocks off? It's like that.

If I could make some suggestions, prepare in case you encounter issues while hiking. You've been hiking before, but it is still worth mentioning.

The Peak District can have sudden weather changes at this time of year, going from fine to dangerous in minutes. Check the forecasts carefully before heading out.

Plan your hike in advance and let someone know when to expect you at certain points. Carry an OS map and know how to use it, as mobile signal may not always be reliable.

Bring a backpack with essentials, including emergency water and food, an emergency blanket, spare dry socks in a Ziploc bag, and a way to signal for help. A wind-up torch and a whistle are ideal. Use the torch to flash S-O-S patterns if necessary.

Wear suitable clothing and footwear for the conditions. The terrain can be hazardous during and after rain, with risks like quicksand, loose rock, and difficult footing. Do not attempt to summit mountains without first researching the paths and difficulty levels, or cross moors away from established paths. Many people lose their lives because they do not prepare adequately for the peaks they climb.

I like to pack chocolate bars for an energy boost every couple of hours. They help with stamina and improve my mood.

You will most likely be fine, but it is important to remember that many accidents happen because people underestimate the peaks and go out unprepared.
