Walking With Williams

The knee works! yah!! Well, I say works as i survived a 10 miler derwent edge circuit today. However, my feet didn’t. After using trail shoes solely this year from about February, with the recent wet weather and boggy ground on the edge, I knew it was a gamble to try them over my boots and gaiters. But I tried, and to be honest, my feet weren’t too cold, I had thick smartwool socks and the temperatue was about 5 – 6 degrees in the valley.

However, by the end of the walk, my feet ached a little more than from the mileage alown, so next week, I will be trying the scarpa sls again.

Well, after a month of osteopathy, my physician has mandated a decent hill walk to test the knee. Oh it’s a hard life. Well, tomorrow is the day, and Hope Valley is the destination. A quick walk up from Hope to Winhill Pike, some photos over Derwent Water and then back down the river Noe. Hopefully the knee won’t let me down. Just got to decide whether to wear my old SLs or trainers.. Wore the boots tonight to the Conkers firework display and they feel HEAVY!!!!
