Title: Hello! Newbie here
Post by: snowyfox on 11:24:21, 08/05/19

Hello


My name is Vanessa and I live in Oxfordshire.


After a health issue 4 years ago, I was unable to drive for two years so embraced my new "life" and walked everywhere instead. Luckily my work was a 3 mile round trip through countryside, so feel I had gained more than I lost in terms of wellbeing  :) .


I am now back to driving again, but my love of walking has remained. I don't clock up many miles so am probably classed as a lightweight but I love it in my own way.


I have a boot question so will hop on over to Gear Section to see if you friendly bunch can help me out, but wanted to pop my head around the door to say hi first.


Regards

Welcome from Shetland. Nothing wrong with being a light weight - indeed I wish I was one.
