Speaking of kit ...
Can any of you who did the last recce advise on a suitable choice of shoes?
Is it simply Walsh, Walsh or Walsh, or did anyone try anything else?

[Marvin]

I wore Walsh Ultras and they worked fine for me. Others had various Inov-8s. Ask Huwski about his!

I wouldn't recommend Gladiators. They'd be far too slippery on the rocks.

the rest of the gang will tell you that my walshs was a tad on the worn side but i hammered it down the scree off scafell full pelt and they coped very well, my advice would be to make sure your fell shoes are well bedded in as this route at race pace will no doubt tell on the feet.

I'm sure that's right (not that the 'race pace' factor is particularly relevant in my case). My worry is, that Walshes tend to flay my feet if I wear them for more than a couple of hours, especially my new(ish) PB Racers. That's why I wondered if there were any alternatives. Thanks for your replies.

not sure what flay your feet means
PB racers are very light, i may put mine on for the race , the ultras that marvin had on looked very nice
shame he didnt leave them in the car park

whatever you have on i think its going to be pain pain pain over the last part of the race
