Welly Improvements
14th October 2013
A slightly left field entry for a photography blog, but I thought I'd share a new piece of field kit which seems to have made life easier.
I always wear wellies or waders (usually waders) for many secanerios including sandy beaches, wet woodlands and river wading - excellent for keeping sand at bay and getting to those trickey to reach watery locations. The only problem is that water tends to lead to mud and slippery rocks and the lack of grip on wellies has always been a problem. Somewhat dangerous, which is just what you dont need making your way over a slippery rocky foreshore late at night.
So I thought I'd see if I could improve matters and have bought some ice crampons - http://www.amazon.co.uk/ICERS-Ultimate-Heavy-Duty-Grippers-conditions/dp/B004F8B6U6 - so far they have preformed very well in mud and river beds. Feels a lot more secure underfoot.
I'll keep using them and see how they go.
