Had a wander down the river last weekend scoping out some new areas.
Had left my boots at home but thought if I'm careful shouldn't be a problem.
WRONG!!!
Foot slipped and caught in a hole. Toe must have almost touch my shin.
A few hours in casualty and luckily no broken bones but some tendon damage on top of foot.
Swelling is just going down now and foot is bruised all over. The instep, toes and outside are all very colourful. Can just about hobble around now.
Hopefully should be ok for the start of the season.
Moral of this story is make sure you've got the right footwear on if you're going exploring.
