hiking bench

Cheers for the links and the thoughts. My knees are shot anyway, three arthroscopies and the removal of the medial meniscus from BOTH knees means i have to work hard on my quads to help support the joints.

Didn't do as much work on them through the winter and suffered on Sunday. Need to build them up, so i'll give training a go for as long as it takes to get comfortable. Agree time on the pond is what we need, the season is in full swing now for the Larks so a bit of training and time out there should do the trick.

Walking is much easier today

Circular Saw? far too crude... a decent grinder is what you need, multi purpose! cut stuff, shape stuff, smooth stuff.... and sparks too! you just dont get the right visuals with a saw..
(see website in sig for graphical demonstration of uses)

tbh he doesnt say which boat it is that he sails but im going for a wild guess and going to say Lark. But definatly get the technique correct as messed up knees are definatly not fun... though (un)fortunatly I cant blame all of mine on sailing.

LOL

You probably want to have a look at your hiking technique if you find it hard to walk., Make sure you put even pressure on both legs and dont turn you toes in or out because that builds up one set of muscles more than others. This is very painful and can lead to Physio - believe me.

There are many articles out there on that but I dont know any links off the top of my head. Que the forum hiking   's response
