Walking for Health

I thought I'd try a different topic today - walking for health. What caught my eye was an article in the Western Telegraph. The article reminded people that they needed to wear the right footwear when walking on coastal paths.... and of course, it is true that you do need to wear the right shoes whenever you are out walking as tottering along in high heels on rough paths could end in disaster!

Although mainly town based, Treasure Trails have some more countrified walks and our Symonds Yat walk in particular would not be suitable for any old shoes and especially not with heels. The walk is on pavements, rough paths through woods, the suspension bridge, the hand ferry and back to pavements!

My favourite walking shoes are old now and I can't quite bring myself to replace them as they are so worn in they feel like slippers and I am sure that no new shoe would feel as good! But I am going to have to bite the bullet and get some more soon.
