Bought some awesome running shoes whilst on holiday.Made in Bolton by real people apparently, I did not know anything about them before I purchased but now see Walsh fell shoes have websites/ sections to websites dedicated to them (including http://www.alpineworld.com/trail/walsh.html) and feature on various forums.
I have bought them to have a go at 3 peaks race - hopefully next year as part of build up for Norseman.
Have just been for one short run in them so far but really liked them - comfortable and so light. Feet felt a little flat but anticipate this is more due to walking 39 miles in Dr Martins in last week than lack of support in Walsh shoe.
My itinerary for next year is beginning to take shape. In addition to 3 peaks race it will hopefully include Endurance Life's Cornish Coastal marathon and North Cornwall Tor.
P.S. Having just seen the date of North Cornwall Tor it could work out really well or that event could be on same day as 3 peaks race (still trying to track down 3 peaks race date for 2009).

This is exactly the kind of thing I like to read about, Roys bling trainers are sooo yesterday. Hand made shoes from Bolton is seriously niche, and you were able to smuggle them across the border and into the south. This is exciting cutting edge blogging (there is no hint of sarcasm here if you were wondering)
