I'm very jealous.. I'm buying boring housey stuff since I always neglect buying it and outdoor walking stuff for my daughters DOE expeditions since she owns nothing remotely outdoorsy or sporty and will probably never wear it again... oh well!!

Get thee to Lidl. I've just got some lovely new walking boots for under a tenner from there and they've got all sorts of camping/hiking gear in at the moment.

I miss Guide camp I ran a Ranger unit until we moved this time last year.

my friend runs the guide unit i used to go to when i was a guide, and i go every year to camp with them, as first aider..
but this year i have to do my camp licence for my own unit, and then we're going on a week long 3counties one for the centenary year, and i have to plan a weekend one in may for the girls who've never camped before to get used to it..
the easter one is only one night - im starting to fill the forms in and wonder if it's more trouble than its worth lol..
if we weren't so far, you'd be werlcome to camp with us

and ive never owned a pair of walking boots, when i go with my old guides, it's either wellies or glad's or bare feet - i still don't do trousers even on camp, hence my guide nickname being tinkerbell as i turned up for the first one in a fairy-esque dress (strraight from my day at college lol)..

but the woman who's my new DC is very "old skool" guiding iykwim..and i know she'd frown upon unsuitasble footwear as much as she does upon "uniform policy", "not having enough structure in meeting times" (!) and being generally not as organised as her..i fear she forgets she asked me to take this unit on as she already has one of her own, and is DC so didn't want to ghave to organise another..(in which case, why tell me im doing it wrong?!)

ok, sorry, dull rant over..

Walking boots sound so sensible. I bet they look sensible too though. Otherwise I'd get some.
