Nice. Looks bleak: I hope you had a stiff Scotch waiting when you got back inside!

Had me worried for a moment, there!

Rob! As Russ has commented when I have made comments which could be similarly interpreted, tut tut.

Two images of my favorite pool, in september and yesterday (the subject of the second one is me talking of love to her, while she remains rather cold...)

Love the one with the sheep. Not that I've got a thing for sheep. Thought I should just make that clear. They are very pretty though ...

But is it clear enough, Mr Chairman?

It's been noted that you frequent those lonely places a great deal... do you wear green wellies or, perhaps, boots on those - excursions?

Man, there is a confusion of love objects there!

Usually trail running shoes. Wet feet, but they dry better than wet boots, and much more comfortable.

These are the same sheeps.  I had the same impression of Bill, they are very pretty (and nosy),  you can find them even on the summit of a mountain.

P.S. For me italian mountain boots GTX.

You can't get near the Mallorcan ones; their mothers have warned them. Their fathers would ram you if the daughters forgot.

A windy day on Dartmoor. The long range forecast is for a potentially very chilly winter. Hopefully lots more days like this one

I'm currently wearing some Inov8 Roclite trail running shoes, light comfy and they are also waterproof. The GTXs on this page are the waterproof ones. GTX meaning Goretex. There's now a boot version I see, which would be even better for keeping ones feet dry.
Waterproof socks are one of the great inventions though. I bought some Dexell Bamboo socks recently as Seal-Skinz seems to be poorly fitting and inconsistent size wise these days and generally not as good as they used to be.

On Dartmoor in particular, the ground is very boggy & there are hundreds of streams to keep crossing. It's much easier to just walk through the streams than worry about rock-hopping your way across - one slip & Smack! Splash! Ouch! My camera! Waterproof boots tend not to stay waterproof when the water gets up to mid-calf & beyond :-)

I had the same rationale this summer (a little chilly up in the mountain though). With wool socks I had no major issues with the temperature if you keep moving. The problem that I didn't anticipate was that in the damp and cool cabin the damn shoes wouldn't dry up, at all. And they were light trail shoes. No heat source either.
If you don't have large streams to pass and you have long pants/gaiters to keep the water from going in the shoes from above waterproof shoes/boots are still a good option.

Playing with focus stacking just to find out (again) just how much time it actually takes

I also have long waterproof socks.  :P
I believe a decent set of gaiters will also keep water from getting in via top of boot.

I don't have an issue with hot sweaty feet, so getting them wet will simply mean very cold feet. So no chance of shoes drying out, particularly when temp drops. I ended up going through a bog today whilst out on bike. Waterproof socks kept feet lovely and dry/warm when my summer cycling shoes shoes got sodden.  :)
