Not sure if wellies or flippers would have been the more appropriate footwear for today's trog up to Buck Hill and the Outwoods. Anyway, I wore Walshes, which at least meant that I wasn't sliding around.

Imagine if the Trigger race was going ahead after the recent rain, even in the sort of benign weather that I had today (temperature must have been at least 10C, it hasn't been as warm as that for quite a while).
