Feels like its been gales and raining every weekend since I started backpacking in the UK.
Once again I watched the weather carefully and decided not to go wildcamping.
Am I being soft?
On Saturday I decided to get out and do a hike to see if I made the right decision.
I decided to do a walk from Dunsop Bridge
The weather was atrocious, much of the walk was ankle deep in mud and I even had to wade across a stream come river at one point.
My rain coat kept me really dry, had a little sweat build up but the armpit vents soon got rid of that once I opened them up.
Boots and soles are turning out fantastic, very comfortable, no rubbing or burning sensations.
I think it would have been a pretty miserable camping trip.
That said I really enjoyed the walk.
