Hey all,

in return for placing an ad in the club mag we got about 10 free samples of Hikers Wool, basically a very soft lambs wool which is supposed to do wonders for treating and preventing blisters. Just tear off a bit, wrap it round the affected part of your foot and it will bind to your sock, cushion, reduce friction, wick away mositure, etc.

Or so it is claimed - if anyone wants to give it a go and see if it works, let me know and I'll bring some along on Tuesday. Personally I found that wearing a polypro sock liner did the trick for me and I haven't had blisters since. And then there's Steve with his toedoms.

This might be the next wonder treatment though (and is free) so try it out and post some feedback here!
