      I’d never heard of the Archangels Way until I filmed this video, but I saw the sign for it in the church and I’ve added it to my list 😊 I think it’ll make a great video!

    Great route. Love the atmospheric look from that church. I know exactly what you mean that the camera doesn’t do it justice - but still good 👍

    Dave, try a pair of Merrell Moab 3 Mid GTX Waterproof Walking Hiking Boots. Shop around, you can pick them up for around £70 if you don't mind the weirder colours. They feel like walking in carpet slippers. Good water resistance and support. I have done all my walks on Dartmoor , Shropshire and the Peak District in Moabs. They don't do half sizes after size 10, but good socks often make for a comfortable fit. I'm size 12.5 and have no issues. Another idea would be a good-quality military surplus pair of AKU's. Good enough to get me up Kinder Scout in mid-winter. Hope this helps. :) Great video! I'm just sorting out my kit for the Shropshire Hills next weekend. :)
