    Lowa GTX Mountain Boots

    I have had said boots for about 10 months and used them extensively for walking. Im quite impressed with them, as are most people who have them. Personally for long distance if I can get away with wearing my fell running trainers I do, depends on the underfoot conditions, if so I Vaseline my feet.

    Surgical spirit for feet

    I have used surgical spirits previously for "toughening skin". Dependent on how seasoned your feet are, yes it can harden the skin. You may still experience blisters, which could end up worse and less maintainable due to unpenatrable skin. I have problems with my heel sides, which eventually end...

    Stupid waterproof trainer with gaiter idea

    What is it that you hate about getting wet feet? I've done a lot of fell running, wet feet never really bothered me, unless temperature is near freezing, then I wear some waterproof socks. Like others have said, you'l just end up with sweaty and possibly blistered feet. If im taking part in runs...

    Giants Seat meet 19th - 21st April, Sign Up

    Im travelling from Crewe, I looked at getting the train but driving would work out cheaper, plus could share the cost for their section of the journey if someone happened to need a lift. Anyone needing a lift between Crewe and the location of Giants seat, please dont hesitate to send me a message.

    Goretex Smock

    I am on the hunt for a goretex smock, I suppose I am quite specific in what I want, something like this one but made from the older style Gore tex before they began to shave weight with the depletion of durability. http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicolasticklish/3244172301/ Anyone know of any...
