I went for another hike today, picking a circular route from the Ordnance Survey app that looked like it could be interesting. The full route was around seven or eight miles. I didn’t make it that far though…

I’ll post more about it in a future post but, suffice to say, it’s not a route to take when it’s been raining. The entire part of the walk I managed was claggy with mud, in some places impassable without wellies, and I ended up with wet feet. On a positive note, the hiking clothing I’ve bought recently held up nicely, even when it rained.

The picture below was from another outing a few weeks ago. The ground was muddy in places then too, but not like today!
