This weekend I went for a walk in Queen Elizabeth Country Park in Hampshire - you may have passed it when travelling on the A3, as you go passed Waterlooville.
To mix it up, I walked with some friends, Ryan, Fay, Frank and their dog Mollie. Fay did better than the rest of us, as being pregnant, she was carrying a whole extra person!
More sock testing - this time a pretty pair of pink bridgedales - and I have to say it was a great success. No blisters, no sores and no hot feet! Whoop! So feeling like I might have the shoe options sorted for the trek.
The walk was lovely, the rain stayed away, the country park was very pretty in the sunshine and Mollie kept us all entertained with her sticky up ears. It was a bit of hill training, as there was a bit of an incline compared to the walks I've managed in Dorset, but still not a Helvellyn!
