One of the things I'm planning on doing during my sabbatical is to take time to go on a long walk. I've had a pair of walking shoes for a while, but they've recently begun to look a bit worse for wear. Having already begun reading up about preparing for a long walk, the recommendation is not to do this in a new pair of shoes. So, I've been shopping and my new shoes have just been on their first outing! And I've also got some walking poles that I still need to try out!
Exciting times...
