Please mother, no more mince pies, please.....!!
Well Santa was kind to me and I did get a copy of the Hillwalking Manual which is proving very interesting reading indeed - can't wait to get out and try out some of the skills.
Managed to go for a good long walk on Wednesday - a 3 hour bimble but boy did I feel it afterwards. Surely it hasn't been that long since I went out for a good stretch?! The main problem was my boots. My lovely, recently purchased boots. They were slipping and the resulting blisters made life quite uncomfortable. I was wearing the same socks, insoles and they were laced the same way. Only thing I can think of that might have changed is my weight. Less weight, less pressure on the feet. Can't afford to buy any new ones yet so will have to find a solution - probably thicker socks.
Off to Somerset for the New Year and hope to get out onto the Mendips for the day tomorrow before more festivities!
All for now.
