Okay, back from my trip! As promised further review of Contact 1000. Put it this way- at the Wasdale Head there was one hiker with dry feet. Me. My boots were fantastic. Over Scarth gap in 80mph winds and terrible rain and later through Black Sail Pass, Kirk Fell and Sca fell in miserable conditions my boots were a dream. No Blisters, totally comfy. Oh and...And no my fellow hikers had decent boots- two had Salomons, albeit not brand new now, Another Braishers- (soaked through in minutes) another a cheaper Hi-Tec - not that bad!....
