"On the evening of Saturday 17th April we arrived at Sedbury Cliffs, (myself, Alex and my dog) near Chepstow on the Severn Estuary, after completing the Offa's Dyke National Trail, in aid of The Multiple Sclerosis Society. Thirteen days earlier we had stood in Prestatyn, 185 miles away, on the North Wales coast, with our full backpacks and clean boots, ready for an epic adventure.

Disaster struck a week before we were due to set off when my trusty old pair of boots finally fell apart. Fortunately brasher came to the rescue and posted out a pair of new Supalite II GTX boots for me to try out on the trek.

The Offa's Dyke path weaves in and out of the England-Wales border, and is Britain's largest man made monument, built by Offa, King of Mercia from 757 to 796 A.D to try and create a boundry between his kingdom and the independent Welsh kingdoms. It takes in some wonderful and picturesque parts of the country-the Clwydian Range, the Severn Valley, the Shropshire Hills, the Black Mountains and the Wye Valley. We were lucky with the weather, with only one wet night of camping, in fact the only weather conditions we had not really prepared for was for glorious sunshine, which we had for most of the trip!

Our favourite day of the walk has to be between Gweryd Lakes, a campsite tucked away in the Clwydian Range and Llangollen. The day had an amazing array of scenery - moorland as we left the hills, lush fertile farmland, forest tracks through Llandegla Forest, more moorland, and finally scree on the side of a hill with wonderful views to one side and imposing rocky crags to the other as we approached the hilltop castle of Dinas Bran overlooking Llangollen.

The Supalite II GTX performed brilliantly, they were so comfortable straight from the box, and the weight (or rather lack of) is surprising. Despite being so light, I still had the support I needed, and several times during the walk the boots prevented me from twisting, or doing worse damage to my ankles.

In total we raised over £3800 for MS Society. Multiple sclerosis is the most common disabling neurological condition affecting young adults and around 100,000 people in the UK have MS."

 

More great feedback from one of our consumers who has happily worn his Hillmaster GTX for the past 10 years.

Gordon Anderson has done a fair amount of globetrotting visiting countries including Hong Kong, Madagascar, China, France, Italy, Australia, America and of course the UK.

"I will be really sad to part with them...nuts about boots eh! 
Anyway, I am a geologist and an engineer and they have been the best thing I have ever worn on my feet. I travel in aircraft in them as well. 
For some reason the temperature is always perfect inside the boots. The heels are completely worn now but they have been the most durable footwear I have ever had. All my shoes are leather and I tend to buy upmarket but nothing I have ever bought has ever come close to my boots."

Thanks for your comments Gordon and the great photo!

It's always good to receive feedback and comments from our consumers. We recently received a letter from Samantha Millar who has happily worn her Hillmaster's for the past 8 years!

 "In 2002 I bought my first pair of brasher Hillmaster boots. At the time, I thought it was quite a lot of money to spend on a pair of walking boots but they have paid for themselves many times over. I never could have imagined they would last me for this length of time.

I have worn them almost every day for 8 years, as I have 2 dogs. They have seen me through 4 months in the Falklands, and I have completed my lifelong ambition of climbing Ben Nevis with the help of my brasher's.

I could not imagine owning a pair of more comfortable boots, and I'm devastated they are coming to the end of their long and eventful life. I could not begin to guess how many miles they have walked on my feet!"
