welshbairn Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I've bought them for work before. They wear out awfully quick but that memory foam sole is a dream to walk about on Just bought a pair of Meindl trekking trainers that the style fascists on the trainers thread would probably vomit at on sight. They're like walking on air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives in Toronto, so only really see him about once a year anyway. I’m going over there in November and was fully expecting to be going back over for the wedding next summer. With it being in Italy, I’d imagine more of my friends will be able to make it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're like walking on air. I tend to buy North Face ones but often think I'm just paying for the name. I'm not a serious hill Walker more just trails etc and too lazy to research other brands properly. Are Meindl worth looking at then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a pair of rambling boots from them and used them mostly for working steel erecting and building work for 4 years, doing 18-36 hour shifts on occasion. My feet were the last thing to suffer. The trainers I just bought are brilliant, hope they last as long. I wouldn't pay more than the minimum for a car as long as it gets you from A-B, but your feet are worth a bit extra imo. Wouldn't go for the hardcore climbing ones if you're mainly on trails, too stiff. Edited August 6, 2018 by welshbairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass mark is 75%, as it is all the way through the course (apart from the safety exams which are 100%). So only 16% effort wasted. Main thing is, I wasn't the lowest so I don't have to buy the cakes tomorrow This ain't no picnic, 3 weeks in, 11 weeks left to go, averaging 2 exams a week However it may make it easier to get a job with BAE when I finish in the RAF so worth doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
