I want a different start, but I'd like to pick up my original route in FA.

Reading Chris Brasher's Gua...Great post, Mark. <br />Reading Chris Brasher's Guardian Obit I was surprised that it didn't mention Chris's help in in the purchase of a great chunk of Knoydart for the people that lived there.<br /><br />There are folk on the Challenge who swear by his boots - the lightness, the grip etc. But unfortunately they seem to be made for people with great plates of meat - my girly feet slopped around in them terribly.<br /><br />Give them a couple of good doses of Nikwax - they should be great for your antipodean trip.<br /><br />So - when will we see you again on the Challenge, young man?<br /><br />(I thought your attire for that Lakes trip very suitable - lots of ventilation)Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.com
