It's chilly outside but should be good for walking so let's go down and find another waterfall. I have remembered to take my hiking stick this time which will make it much easier on the rough downwards steps.
Yes I have shown them once before. Scarpa brand and the shop assistant assured me that the exorbitant price was worth it because I would still be wearing them 15 years later. I was in my mid forties at the time and remember thinking that wearing them when I was 60 seemed a little unlikely. And I have passed 60 and am still wearing them. At their current rate I reckon they will last into my 70s unless I take up doing more hiking in my retirement.
Have fun!
ReplyDeleteBrave girl I'm a sook in the cold weather so I'll walk with you from my warm desk chair.
ReplyDeleteThose are good-looking boots.
ReplyDeleteHave you shown us these ones before?

DeleteYeah, glad Letty noted the shoes. I love'em.
ReplyDeleteI broke my walking stick last weekend, coming up an escalator in the QVB. I will have to patiently repair it. My father made it for me.
Oh no your beautiful walking stick. I broke the walking stick I inherited from my Grandma when I was hobbling around with a sprained ankle.
