Bearing this in mind please remember to bring a waterproof jacket and sensible shoes for walking on pavements. If you get cold easily then maybe a pair of gloves or a hat would be a good idea. You will be standing in the one position for around 10 minutes. Below is only one view of the river valley that you may want to use.
