It was cold and wet last night and cold this morning, so foolishly i put winter softshells on and a thick Capilene baselayer …. so of course there was a full speed trip up Grinds Brook in blazing sun. Of course there was. It were reet warm.

I’m now spending what’s left of my Sunday afternoon listening to lapwings and skylarks whilst airing my feet and my socks and giving my Aku boots some tlc with Scarpa cream.

Is there ‘owt better than a cool breeze on wrinkly feet !! These boots are like a suit of armour for my feet and they had a particularly hard time on the fire last weekend. Several of my ranger colleagues have now managed to source themselves a pair.
The boots are AKU Tactical KS Schwer 14 GTX Cold Wet Weather Boots
Perhaps i’ll wander off and forage some steak pie in a bit …..
Completely unrelated but on my way round the parish this morning, someone has cut and cleared the old marker for the toll bar.
