Fantastic!
Bring it on. Walking on the moor in trainers and no wellies - bliss. Plenty
of
water in the reservoirs so doom-mongers can get lost :-)
My weekly forecast is on my web site, shortest one ever! (Feeling lazy :-) )

Is it wise to walk on the moors in trainers? I always wear walking
boots, saves my ankles becoming strained or even sprained if I slip on
rough or rocky ground.

Hi Joe, depends how agile your ankles are and how much support they need. I know
someone from the LDWA (Long Distance walkers association) who swears by them, he
regularly walks 25-30 miles in good trainers. I wear them in summer only as they
get too wet in winter.

Cheers,

Will.
