Walking socks. Mnhq I want to ask about walking socks but where? Where do they go? There is no natural home for walking socks.

But there would be if there was an Outdoorsy Shite (name suggested by RowanMN btw) topic.

Base layers are still homeless.

Thread in chat about walking up Snowdon, it will go poof for want of a good home.

Likewise Peak district thread.

And Starling murmurations.

An abundance of goretexy info all down the plug hole, or festering away in Aibu for all I know.

I bet someone on here knows all about some really serious and excellent walking socks but as there's no proper topic what can we do eh??

I guess I'll just have to soldier on with poorly wicking moist socks.

Well thank you Zuzu [smil]

I have never seen a murmuration but after that bit on Countryfile on Sunday I really want to. I gather they often kill the trees they roost in, such is the potency of their, mmmm what is it called, mounds of bird poo? Starts with G... Sorry they got your car though.

Yes I guess I could go to Blacks and talk with an earnest young man about socks, but I would love a little chat about them here first.

Let's put on the show right here in the barn!

Do you want thick and warm or thin and cool, slubber? Smartwool and Thorlos are my favourites.

Lovely picture, fantastic scenery.

Don't talk to me about starling murmurations. The little feckers murmurated all over my patio and car for about three weeks a little while ago Angry

I'd like a car topic myself.

Have you tried Blacks or Millets for the socks Slubber?

PS I have always loved your name.
