If you walk with a sturdy companion you won't get your feet wet as they will piggy-back you across raging torrents.

Lord Elpus and I had earmarked Mad'n'Bad as just the chap when we put our team together for this year's Challenge.

Girls swoon at the sight of a chap's ankles and so etiquette demands that gentlemen wear long trousers

:joy:

Many thanks for the replies which have kept me amused today :) I would not wish to upset the Fashion Police so I suspect I’ll go for the trouser option. I could, of course, try thumbing a piggy-back lift over any raging torrents I come across, Alan - I’ll let you know how that goes.

Seriously, thanks for your advice folks.

Cross (or Zuucs) and a kilt.
No problem.
