I'm not much of an outdoorsy person, but for some reason when I am in the Lake District, I feel the need to become one, mostly by wearing and purchasing outdoorsy clothing. My clothing store of choice is Tog 24. While the store in Bowness is larger, I do find the staff at the store in Ambleside more friendly and helpful.
I also find a lot of the things I need, I'm not talking professional grade stuff, just some things to add to make sure that while I'm being outdoorsy that I am properly equipped for reasonable prices. In fact, sometimes I find myself buying things I don't really need, but just because the prices is pretty good. Not to mention I do like the colours and patterns of the clothes they do offer. I know it is about function and not fashion, but you can't completely take the city out of the girl. read more
