16 Miles
Some of you know I am a pretty avid hiker in the mountains here in San Diego. Last year I finished the season with a 15 miler, this year my goal is to do 20. Started out with a plan for a 13 miler today, but it was such a beautiful day, I was feeling good, so went for 16; my personal all time high.
The picture does not do the absolute beauty of those mountains, but it was an incredible day and I am kind of proud of myself.  (Now where is the advil?  )

 Awesome! How much water for 16 miles? How did the feet hold up?

http://www.vasque.com/USD/product/me...iv-bunge-07190 HIGHLY recommended I had ankle surgery years ago so need something with good support, at the same time light and comfortable. These are excellent. I have about 100 miles on my current pair and they are in great shape. One thing to remember is always buy them a bigger size then you normally wear a shoe; (if you're going to be doing long-distance hiking). Your feet will swell up substantially! I misjudged the amount last time and paid the price!

Wow, well done Paul.
I do a lot of hiking in the UK but can assure you as spectacular as the Lake District / Wales are, the sun & sky NEVER look like that! Very jealous!! |
