Meindl Boot Shoot

Date 4 Sep 2014    

Well, this blog has been quiet for a few years, hasn’t it?

In preparation for the next big English Country Walks trip — The Western Front Expedition — I went out to grab a new pair of boots.

I’ve had luck with this brand before, so I decided to try the Meindl Bhutan MFS this time:

meindl-bhutan-05

meindl-bhutan-03

meindl-bhutan-04

meindl-bhutan-02

meindl-bhutan-01

Thanks to Marco and the staff at Cotswold Covent Garden for your help!

Date 1 Mar 2010    

I’ve uploaded the new calendar of walks for this year. You can now book a walk anytime up to February 2011. There are a few new routes added, and more to come, which I will be highlighting in posts over the next few days.

One notable addition is the Alice in Wonderland walk, which I’m putting together to commemorate the release of the upcoming Walt Disney Studios film, due out this Friday. The walk is scheduled for Sat/Sun March 6th and 7th. Read about it here.

My good friend Sue is helping to promote English Country Walks in the US, with these classy bumper magnets. Email me if you want one too. Apparently, they’ll stick to anything except Saturns (Saturns are plastic cars).

First two are version 1, this one is the more refined version 2. Looking sharp now.

Thanks Sue!
