Good for you, Catrin! I have a real aversion to walking or hiking in mud. I just hate how it gets stuck in every crevice of my boot or shoe sole and builds up. Feels very yucky to me, not to mention the difficulty cleaning up afterwards. In NC we used to hike at the Eno River State Park often on weekends, and when the trails were frozen in the coldest winter mornings, I enjoyed it so much more than when things thawed out and brought the mud!
