A little break...

No walking this weekend, as my Mother came down for a few days! I also needed to order some new shoes in as my current walking trainers have worn out.

This brings me to the hiking boots versus robust trainers discussion. I've never been a fan of hiking boots. They seem to hate my feet for some reason! I chafe, blister, ache after wearing them, even when broken in. Hence my reluctance to buy any more. My favourite pair of walking trainers was a pair of Reebok Zigtech sportswear. Utterly beautiful fit, no feetache, and they lasted me a couple of thousand miles!

But I am well aware of their limitations, being totally unsuitable for boggy land, such as when I plan to do the Fort William to Cape Wrath trail route. So, will I have to bite my cheek and get some hiking boots back on my feet? I also will have to somehow overcome my dislike of camping...

Til next week!
