i was un prepared for it, my car broke down next to a lake, we settled down for the night in rather uncomfy circumstances and a tractor trundled by at 5 am, and towed us to a village, where people laughed at us.quote:Originally posted by Aimee:quote:Originally posted by JacksonB:

Aimee
if shes treking up the beacons, she need some really good hiking shoes and trainers for later.
I have walked up there in the summer months and its hard, if been raining its worse walking upto the top, full of sheep everywhere so you have to be careful of ticks, so big socks pulled over trousers to stop ticks.
Clothes, she would need, ( depending on weather )
always a jumper and fleece, the weather may be nice at bottom, but different at the top.
Have the school said shes camping up the beacons or at the bottom and just doing hikes everyday ? I would at least want to know that.
Saying that ,one day i walked u my dogs, and as i sat there with my well earned cup of tea, i turned round and saw a women all dressed for sunday best with High Heels on
How the hell she treked up there with those on i will never know .
Good backpack, warm clothes, t shirts, trackies, good shoes and trainers is what i would pack. Like for a walking holiday.
all i know is they are camping and there is a tuck shop 
all she has got is her astro turf bootsquote:Originally posted by Aimee:
