After 230 miles my first pair of trekking boots have bitten the dust
So on Saturday i treated myself to a new pair, i looked them up on the Internet, checked them out in magazines and even read a few forums, there was a stockist in Shetland ( a miracle in itself), so with a handful of 11 crisp ten pound notes , Three times as much as my first Pair, i headed to lerwick and got them.
Tonight like a kiddie at Christmas i opened the box with glee, shiny new socks too,
so booted and spurred off i went.
and what happened! Got my first blister! typical
so what have i learnt
-cheap is always cheerful, expensive is not always a guarantee.
on the other hand it could just be-
don't try to brake new boots in walking 7 miles up and down hills in the dark, at a fairly fast pace because you don't want to miss junior doctors on BBC three
painful lesson learnt,
On the fundraising front, went to the terminal building this afternoon to stock up the wristband box, they are selling well
While i was there, the terminal staff gave me the money they have raised over the last few weeks,doing various things,a cake bake,a prize draw and guess the number of sweets in a jar, a total of £73.15p
thank you very much to all of you, but a special thanks to Mary at security, as in her own words" I'm the nagger who collects the money" you might be a nagger Mary but your also a SUPER STAR
Thanks again for all the support
