Kept me alive in India and Nepal - some serious hiking there friends. Some city hills are just nuts - The trek up to The Alexandria Palace. Up to Greenwich meridian. Some of the hills in Glasgow are mental too. Always the heel of the foot some reason that gets sore. Titanium plates and screws are not a hassle. They just stick out a bit!
Not having a car is a luxury sometimes.
Enjoyed reading this. I don't have a car either having lived in London for many years - somewhere between Alexandria Palace and Hampstead Heath. Those two places, along with Highgate Wood, were all I knew of the countryside. I didn't have special shoes to walk there though. Brashers are an excellent brand but I made the mistake of buying very sturdy, quite heavy, Hillwalkers (meaning fells/mountains) and not really necessary for my part of the world - plus I'm a size 5.
