A Wet Training Walk!

Welcome to my first post! Training for my big walk has begun in earnest and we chose the wettest day here in Devon - I've officially road tested my kit and promised myself that I will NEVER forget to pack my waterproof trousers again! Lesson learnt.  I might as well have dived into the sea fully clothed!  The boots have held up nicely though so I reckon they will get me through the 420 mile trek.

  1. Hi Mary! I found you! How exciting and best of luck with your walk. My tip-top-tip would be to pack everything in a waterproof liner inside your backpack so all your spare clothes, phone, camera etc. remain dry even in a downpour! You may get a little wet but that is ok because skin is waterproof and you can always get dry with your warm spare clothing! GOOD LUCK! Tom
