rain shadow of the western uplands."

This all seems pretty normal.

I presume you have good boots ? I have an
excellent pair now, having for years used
inferior footwear and plastic bags for dryness.
Finally, I have one pair of footwear that doesn't leak.

Good boots will put a smile on your face.

I can recommend Sealskinz socks:

Your feet stay perfectly dry no matter what shoes/boots you wear. And I
do a LOT of walking.

I've heard the name and knew what they were but not actually looked at
any product info (so thanks).

I wonder if they do any socks that don't use wool as I might go for
some (can't find 'waterproof' boots / shoes in my size).

Cheers, T i m

Even if you suffer from sweaty feet ?. The moisture has to go
somewhere. 'Goretex' shoes/boots are best IMHO.

I suspect Cumbria might be just as wet, or even wetter.

And spare a thought for the folks of South West Ireland.
