Re: Gear list for the 2016 The Great Outdoors Challenge

I've used La Sportiva shoes - Raptors and Wildcats on the Challenge. Both have been great. I may still use them, but I found the Innov8 290 shoes in the cupboard - they are years old but hardly used. They are GTX, but I used a pair in 2008 (not on Challenge) and found them comfy. (The current 290s were a free replacement for some slight damage to the original pair).

It took me a while to convert to trail shoes, but, they are great. Wet feet are inevitable and when walking in non-lined trail shoes they are still comfortable. I have got them wet and finished the day with dry feet.
