But inclement weather can be beautiful, sublime—even fun. It transforms the light, textures and colours of a landscape, allowing new worlds to emerge—shrouded in fog, splintered by ice and refreshed by rain. It influences our mood and behaviour. It has inspired poets and artists, seeped into our language and folklore, and fundamentally shaped our way of life on these isles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn All Weathers\u003c\/em\u003e takes us from the howling winds of Skye to the fen-sucked fogs of East Anglia, as Matt Gaw embarks on a series of walks across Britain—through rain, fog, wind, ice and snow—to look again at our most widely accessed experience of the natural world.
