was working thursday last week, using my new wcw backpack, enjoying the fresh air in the welsh countryside, cleaned front of this farmhouse, and started to climb the steps to go to the rear of the house, as i did i tripped over my rigger boots and started to fall forwards, my first though was to protect my new backpack, that i was carrying, which i did successfully, sadly though i heard a pop in my left calf and felt like someone had shot me in the leg.................5 days on and a torn ligament and still no sign of going back to work, im well cheesed off.

and they say wfp is safer   

Aye,that's who I use anaw,no had to claim yet tho

yea riggers far to heavy for window cleaning get urself a good pair of gortex light weight hiking boots,and rest that ligiment and look up methods of repair on net i have just done the same for a ligiment injury from football

i only wear the riggers in really wet weather as my usual boots have my work trousers over the top of them and they get wet in the long grass, the trousers go inside the riggers and keep dry.

Be a Northerner , and toughen up .

seriously get well soon , Time is Money .

Do you have a mate who can carry your round for a few weeks?

8 o'clock sharp,with wellies on! 

  I used to wear riggers , but find flippers are more waterproof
