[QUOTE="Sean01, post: 1029297"] Be careful with the beech - loose underfoot etc. here's something you might try - I found it by accident. In 2007 we went to the Highlands on holiday - nowhere is flat! Just before leaving the house I rushed in and grabbed my crutches and walking stick - just in case I needed them. At the time I though my 'little sprain' was mended. First night - ghost walk through the cemetry at the side of Stirling castle with Mad Jock and his barking mad wife - what a job!! Walking up hill fine - walking back - disaster!. next morning I got out of bed and could not put any weight on my legs at all. The furthest I got was to sit upright on the edge of the bad. I could not even stand. The wife went to the car to get the stick 0 useless. She went off for the crutches (yes I know, I would have brought them both too). I could stand with crutches. I quickly figured out what was best for me - opposite crutch and foot moving at the same time. I know it sounds daft and it definitely looked it but I can comfortably do 4 miles an hour with crutches - that's a brisk walking pace, down hill and up hill. I leave most people standing. It was just enough to shift the weight off my joints. The daft thing is, that without the crutches, I could not take a single step - but with them _ I was fast. (To an outsider I looked like I was taking the the p***. That was my life for the first year plus, until I gradually moved to a single crutch, then a stick. My advice - tray walking poles - it makes you look professional and stop messing about with oranges. They're dangerous in more ways than you can imagine. [/QUOTE]
