Waterlogged track in winter Yes, I bring my wife to all the best places. She has endured many mud filled sunken ways, flooded paths, slippery slopes and be-puddled farm and field tracks at my behest to date, and has never mutinied, so far. She is much the same strolling the shore's edge on the coast of the south of France, or a wooded track in the Pyrenees in summer as she is here I am glad to say. We have the right gear, the right attitude and great heaters in the car, plus a decent packed lunch, a hot flask and the distant allure of a baked potato in the oven at home. Enough to keep anyone on track.
