At the beginning of June I am off on a hundred mile stroll in six days. It is a great little walk following St Oswald to Holy Island in Northumbria. It will involve daily walks of up to nineteen and a half miles.
I thought I’d get in training with a few little walks. Three days ago I did a nice seven mile walk. Today it was a beautiful eight mile walk.
The result is that the entire ball of my left foot is one big blister, there is another big one under the heel and a medium one on the back of the heel plus one small one on the little toe. One medium one of the ball of the right foot, a small one on the little toe and a small one on the big toe.
By my calculations this makes eight! Is that a record?
Now I am hobbling around. That is not good news. I am acutely aware that in six weeks I will be walking over twice that distance a day for six days.
My trainers were comfortable and not rubbing. My feet are prone to blisters.
Has anybody got any suggestions of what might help?
