When in the peak district in Oct I went a bit off piste. The ground started getting boggy.
Did the tuff jumps, when I could. However one piece looked firm and placed my foot down and then my leg disappeared down into the bog to my knee.
Lucky was able to step up on to a tuff with use of walking poles and raise my leg out. As I was wearing the Arcteryx Boras, no water could get in to the inner boot, though was one foot squelching back to the campsite.
Boggy ground is a real hazard that many people don't take on board, especially solo walking. I am certainly more on the look out for it now!
I want to do forest of Bowland in 2018. However, the hazard of boggy ground, could present a issue doing it solo!
