Told him he would have to walk 50 metres behind me so nobody thought he was with me.haha
We are doing a coastal walk for charity, doing a small section (apprx 8 miles) each month and having supporters walk with us for £10 a section, its raised a few bob so far, but one section across the cliffs around the south of the island is a bit exposed in parts, and very muddy in others and one lovely chap turned up in a tweed jacket and brogues, he really looked the part, except the soles of his brogues were just leather, and he was slip sliding all over the place. I basically had to carry him across most of the first part of the walk to a cafe, and he decided to bail out there (thank god). As I said, a lovely bloke and we were laughing most of the way, but he did feel sorry for him - and his brogues.
