I have had Sealskinz fail on previous Challenges, but they do continue to provide insulation and wind resistance in snow and on cold, windy days. something that could be VERY useful for the conditions likely to be encountered on this year's Challenge!
They also keep out all the grit and gunk that Alan refered to in his post. They keep your feet clean even when wet.
I'd prefer to wear Merino socks any time, but I think Sealskinz and similar do have their place when wearing non-membrane trail shoes.
I'm with Andrew on the Gehwol foot creams: Extra before setting off in the morning and Refreshing Balm after cleaning feet at night; Exellent stuff! 
Not enough Merino in them for my liking!!!
Thanks everyone for all the tips!
