New boots and no blisters

As i walked up to Blacks this morning they had just opened the doors and i managed to get a new pair of boots with few shoppers about. If the past was anything to go by then I was almost guaranteed blisters today. I Headed straight off to Blencathra as the weather forecast was for rain moving in this afternoon. It was straight up from the off and for an hour was quite relentless. The cloud then came in and that made it even more relentless.
It was such a shame on the top that there was so much cloud. I was walking so close to the edge and i am sure the scenery would have been fantastic. However made it to the top and just turned around for the decent. I was amazed when i took the boots off - shattered but no blisters - excellent.
It felt like just a tick which i am trying hard not to do so i had a quick look at which hills i want done and there only 8 left for the top 20 in England - There's the next challenge then!
