Considering that I have piped up on a meeting thread I might as well put one of these up.
I don't do a lot of walking (due to the rowing season) but when I do they are pretty long ones (half the Isle of Wight, 30 miles along the S. Coast Trail and the GR20). As well as carrying way too much stuff. I also have a penchant for buying tents (Hogan 1+, Hubba hubba and a SL3)
Now that a trek around Dartmoor is coming up I have an excuse to purchase some new boots (own a 10 year old pair of KSBs from DOE days) and some lovely new walking poles (fast and light right?)
