36inch pegs

Not having been up on my 36inch aluminium pegs for nearly a year, I got them out this morning. Previously I had problems with being unable to secure to stilt to the top of my shin comfortably. I have built a new support using some half-round plastic guttering and lots of Gaffer Tape. Another problem with 36 inch stilts in the country is finding somewhere high enough to sit on to put them on safely. At Bowlees in Teesdale there has been erected some new fencing which is higher than before and is now suitable. I walked round the sloping carpark several times and when I felt confident I headed for the first steep hill next to where I park. At the top of the hill I had problems with low tree branches at face level, but once this was overcome, I managed my first steep hill ever on 36 inches without too much difficulty. On my next visit I will try the staircase on these pegs. See my outing this morning on You Tube. Do a search for 'lampwort' and then my video will be called '36 inches high'. It will be available later today
