This story dates back to Easter 91 and a young lad (at the time) called Ben Reynolds (anyone seen him recently?). Some of you I'm sure will remember this - Godders & JD were certainly there at Plas Y Brenin for the traditional post JK training. The first I hear about it is some talk in a minibus between excercises that Ben's gone to hospital. Apparently there was an old angle iron fence post, or at least the bottom most inch of it anyway, and he trod right on it and it went straight through his foot!
So we got back to base and Ben was in the same accomodation block as me. The blood soaked sock and shoe were sitting in the entrance to the block and it looked pretty bad (and pretty grim). Sitting inside he looked a bit white but as it transpired nothing was too noped.
A few months pass and I see Ben again at JIRC (yes it did exist way back then - just). Obviously one naturally asks how the foot is and then came tale of woe number 2. Apparently it went really manky and yellow and eventually the hole in the top of his foot exploded one day
and a piece of Walsh sole came out!
Needless to say he was still running in the same shoes....
