mud! Mud mud mud! Sodden lodden plains unspeakably muddy! Not to mention Philps lead. You are surely not thinking of doing the walk in trainers? I have had the endless pleasure of walking into Lake Vera hut twice, once in January (went up to my chest in mud, but I'm a runt) and once in May - 2 years ago, and only went in waist deep once, and that time we made the top of the cap the next day. Walking boots and gaiters and the full rig. And thermals. Just did overland track last month and much of the track was icy. But still there was mud. |
