Here's hoping!!

Regular readers of the blog will now be quite familiar with my little problem with blisters (probably quite fed up with them too). Well, over the next couple of days we have planned two 20k walks in Derbyshire to build up the stamina for the big day, so if the usual pattern applies, I'll have the dreaded pus balls on my feet after the first 10k. In order that my colleagues are (1) not kept waiting (2) not in stitches at my attempts to walk on my hands, I've taken the followings steps (pardon the pun). New insoles with a gel backing, boots now feel tighter....less movement, less friction, reduction in the cause of the problem....hurray I hear you cry, the lad has cracked it...well, we'll see about that!
The other step (ha, two puns), was bought for me by my wife, probably because she's sick of watching me hobble around the house after our walking adventures, it wouldn't be because I ever mention anything about the golf balls on the soles of my feet, because I don't.....much. What is this miraculous prevention method you might be thinking, you might be, but you might be thinking 'why am I reading about some stupid bloke with soft girls feet', so, who's the strangest, me for writing about it or you for reading it? I digress, it's a spray that claims to prevent blisters called Blistop.

Not sure about walking around Derbyshire in red heels, but if that's what it takes, I'm game for it. No doubt I shall be telling tales of our days out and of any amusing incidents involving our merry band of  intrepid foot sloggers, high heels or not!
