Does anyone think that it would be a good idea to list the good bad and the ugly of the restaurants in Uzumlu ,so that visitors to our Village have some idea where to or not to eat?: :)without being rude of course ;)Good idea? well whos going to start?
Regards Calvin

Hi calvin - I think consistency is the problem here.....just when you think you can rely on one, they change the chef etc and it goes to pot ! But you chaps who live there permanently probably have a much better idea that us 'part timers' !! (Did the Hexagon restaurant ever open again this summer ?)
-
salihli turkish restaurant at the start of the village for excellent pide, pizza and kebap. Very cheap. and the winehouse for a good evening meal whilst being reasonably priced. They have had the chef there all summer and hopefully they will keep him. Apparently the bbq's during the summer were excellent and always having to turn people away on the night.
-
Pookie, the Otterman Garden didnt open this year, shame as it is probably the best situated Restaurant in Uzumlu ,for parking and for not anoying neighbours with noise etc ,needs a new owner ,how are you fixed??? then can you "gizz a job" sorry not allowed to work in Turkey !!!1, We went to Mustaphers last night ,still good food and waiting times are down now that most the tourists have gone, hope he resolves his timing problems he realy does deserve to do well, Calvin
-
Calvin after our experience there, 1hr wait, rubbish food and crap service I wouldnt go back to him. He hasnt a clue about customer service
-
Sorry to hear about your experience , as i said things seem to be improving hope they continue, then you can buy me a beer down there one day, Regards Calvin
-
Calvin...hasn't this subject already been covered before(quite contraversially) ;)
My favourite is the Camlik.
Great gardens and I know that they are about to start a refurb on the inside ready for the winter.

Calvin, don't think we hadn't thought about it......Mr Pookie is a fantastic chef (trained in top notch London establishments don't you know...??!!!) and anyone that knows the size of my somewhat 'rotund' tummy, will confirm that we are rather passionate about good food and wine (and beer !). If Lottie had finished school and we had a Turkish partner, we'd most definitely be there !!!
Has Ibrihim and Aiysha finished with their Gozleme place now us tourists have disappeared ? Hoped they would hve a good year, they deserve it [:X]

Saoirse,I assume from your description that you do not live in Turkey? To rubbish Musti's from perhaps one visit (?)is a joke. We have eaten there maybe 50+ times. Yes, the sevice can be slow but, hey, who's in a hurry here? To say his food is rubbish is just plain ignorant. I agree Musti's is not the Savoy Grill but for decent,consistent grub that offers value for money imo he still cannot be beaten in Uzumlu.
As ever the comments of people who do not live here, but seem impelled to impart their 'wisdom', should be viewed with some degree of suspicion
-
Here we go again, anybody's view of anything in Uzumlu or Turkey is only valid if you live here. What B*ll*cks.
We were all visitors at some point, didn't everybody have a view then, good and bad, were you afraid to voice an opinion then, good or bad, just because you were on holiday, or is it only OK to make good comments when on holiday. People post their opinions as they find, or are holiday makers supposed to put up with cr*p service everywhere, just because they are on holiday.

Has it ? thought that a discussion about ALL eateries in the Uzumlu area could be of assistance to visitors ,but as usual im wrong again!!!:-\:(

from my understanding the camlik only has custom on do's organised by you. Maybe thats why you like it.

depends on how low you think my belt is:Djust interested in peoples comments!!!:P: :)

Baz, all I am saying is that an opinion based on possibly one visit could be construed as dubious when compared to the views held by someone who has visited 50 times more.

Chris. I call it as I find it. It was awful. I went on the reccommendation of people who had been there a lot more than me and can only describe what I found. If you check on the forum you will find many others had same problem. Just for the record if I live in Turkey, Ireland or Mars it has no bearing on me voicing my opinion.
-
Par for the course in here I'm afraid, only comment on Uzumlu if you live in Uzumlu. Unless it's positive of course?
-
We've eaten at the Camlik and have always had good food there [and good company]. It's not been when there's been a 'do' there either [though I believe they do an excellent job in raising funds for various causes].
For good, cheap pide the little pide salonu [with the yellow door practically opposite the bakery] is very good.
Also the Sahili [hope I've spelt it right]has proven to be excellent. Very pleasant staff.
-
If someone only visits a place for 2 or 3 weeks a year how can that person's views (good or bad) be as relevant or as reliable as those of a resident? I think it is fair to say that Musti's has generally been regarded as the best place to eat though it would now appear that the Camlik is coming up fast on the rails.
-
Well I am there 3 months not weeks and as I say call it as you find it, good or bad
-
i must be blind, stupid and dumb but who has said the camlik is good.
some people like the cadianda along with the wait!!!!!!!!!!!! others like the salihli ( no wait cheaper prices) try them yourselves and then comment on both. do not go to one and slag off the others. Each to their own!!
-
You are correct goatman
Anyway I like the wee cafe the best
-
Anyone tried Uzumhan lately? I've heard that the staff have changed. Is this true?

I sincerely hope they have. When I was there in June we were charged £35.00 - yes £ for hard overcooked chicken kebabs for 5 people with a white bean and egg mixture in a pot, with some dried up salad and hard bread to take away - bargain -not!! We arrived late and the family were hungry and it was the only place still open.
-
Goatman,
Below is your introduction...
"hello all, owned some land in uzumlu for a few years but waiting for cement factory outcome before i decide to build"
From that statement I presumed that you do not live here yet? As it says you are waiting to decide!
You seem very knowledgable for one that does not profess to live here and has not stated your name, where you are based
Etc on your profile. Why the mystery? Have you something to hide perhaps you had a different user name in the recent past?
How do you know so much? Why are you presuming that the Camlik
only has custom when I hold "do's" there? Do you attend my "do's". I am not the only person who uses the Camlik for holding "do's" to raise funds for good causes in Uzumlu!
I have stated that I like the Camlik. It has nothing to do with the fact that they help out occassionally with our fund raising efforts. I like it for the food, the staff and the gardens and very much so for the fact that the people who frequent are good honest folks and no back stabbing takes place there.
There have been many posts you have made that do not tie in with your "waiting to decide" statement and your reply to this thread have only confirmed my suspicions that you are not such an innocent party that you are trying to portray.
Yet again another direct personal attack on me that was totally unwarranted.
If you want to attack my motives for my recommendation
Name yourself and be honest and do not hide behind a psuedonim.

I think scunner should make this forum password controlled solely for
Uzumlu members, as the attitude still seems to prevail amongst certain individuals that if you do'nt live there you should'nt express an opinion.We all know you live in a beautiful area of Turkey
and defend any criticism regarding the area like lionesses protecting
their young,brilliant,strong community spirit,highly commendable.
So instead of engaging in yet another one to one tussle about who lives where and who is who,which I'me sure a lot of members,including
myself could'nt give a toss about,just chill out and make the Uzumlu
forum a friendly,democratic one,which I'me certain the majority of
members are striving for. :)
-
so by password protecting it do we keep out Uzumlu residents or the non residents. Whats the point, not a very "democratic" thing to do. The Uzumlu forum is likely to become known as the unfriendly beautiful Uzumlu and people will post at their perril. In the meantime we get something funny to read,
-
Yes, I put it badly,I should have said residents,get your point about funny,it cracks me up. :)
-
And then a password for the Calis section (Oh! almost forgot, it is the Calis forum), then the Fethiye section, then the Ovacik section where will it stop. It's an open forum, like it or lump it.
Baz 8)
-
as I said, it seems that consistency is the problem. We, friends and family visit throughout the year and Chris, I see your point, but also believe that all opinions are worthy of airing. We have been to Camlik on a couple of occasions, the food was absolutely dire - and we vowed never to go again. But I respect Fi's opinion that she has been hundreds of times and likes it. I guess its down to personal taste at the end of the day. As for service, i dont give a damn if we have to wait - thats what Turkey is all about, relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. What I do not appreciate is waiting and waiting and when the food arrives its awful. [xx(]
Everyone to their own. If my opinion is worthy of posting.....I'd have to say the winehouse for consistency....but Aiysha's gozleme are wonderful too !!
-
(I tried to get it back on thread... ;):()
-
Thank you Pookie.....Yes we all have personal opinions and it should not denegrate into a personal attack when you express them [:(!]
I have eaten in all the Uzumlu eateries and some are better than others but I, like you, have favourites. This does not mean I question your motives for preferring one to the other.
Thank goodness we do not all like the same thing as it would be a very boring world if we did.:D ;)
Fi
-
we agree with Firo's comments entirely. but more broadly are saddened by the negative feeling of some of the posts, and the fact that it would appear Uzumlu people tend to come over as a bit quarrelsome! having bought here we think this is a fantastic place, and hope that a positive community spirit will prevail. we'd love to live here full time but cannot (right now anyway). so as part-timers here are more than happy to take the rough with the smooth and hope that adverse comments on some of the restaurants will encourage those places to improve. All restaurants have "off" nights occasionally.

Ah, that takes me back a year or two, to when I was organising Charity fundraisers for the Starfish Kids. For those who want to plan things for the common and local good, it can be a good feeling to arrange something that people enjoy and has a greater benefit too.
For those who could but just can't be arsed, they provide plenty of opportunities to slag off those of us that do.
-
As usual on here people miss the point and go off at tangents. Experiencing something once and then rubbishing it , whether a resident or not, is pointless. The view holds no credibility so don't waste time and air it. Expressing any view must surely be based on informed knowledge and experience.
-
Absolute nonsense.
Neil Armstrong only walked on the moon once. You'd think he'd have gone back at least 3 or 4 more times before banging on about what it was like. An experience is exactly that, and I reckon that if it was positive or negative, 99% of people would be interested in reading it. How they use the information is another subject entirely.
I doubt anyone has missed your point, what you mean is "as usual on here", the majority of people don't agree with you.

Absolutely excellent stuff. Totally correct. I owe you a fry next time you are here in Belfast Mr S.
-
Superb, can you make it a mixed grill in Blinkers? :D
-
if you go to a restaurant and find it is not to your taste or standards, you don't give them ten more visits to see if they can get it right, you just don't go back.
-
I've been to Blinkers in Belfast lots of times, so when I say it is good, it's a valid opinion :D

You do'nt actually believe the Yank's put a man on the moon do you?

Perhaps it's time I came to my own defence. While I am extremely grateful for the help and support of Fiona and Eric, and Kevin and Morag, and many others, I do not turn into a pumpkin after they've gone (though watch out for Halloween!) and all are welcome at any time. We're open daily from 10.30 a.m. to late at night.
About the standard of our food: we have more empty plates coming back than complaints, so I believe we're doing something right. It's true that we have made mistakes, which I apologise for and am embarrassed about, but I welcome fair criticism and I believe we are improving all the time. Pookie, your 'worst meal ever' comment dates from way back in the spring when we first opened - even press restaurant critics give a place a second chance before they condemn it outright. Goatman, or whatever you choose to call yourself these days, I don't recall you ever coming here, unless it was right at the beginning. One of my few experiences of eating at the Wine House for example was many months and several chefs ago and it was awful, but I'm not making any comment about the current situation because I don't know. It may well be a very good place to eat now, and I hope it is.
Other restaurant owners here are not fluent English speakers and are unlikely to read this forum or post on it to set the record straight when necessary. For example, I feel that Hüseyin's pide place has been under-represented here - it's simple and to the point, a completely Turkish experience, and I personally like the food.
I'm sorry, I'm not into this carping and back-stabbing. I would hope for an Üzümlü with a number of eateries, each with its own style and character, where people felt they could go from one to the other and experience something different in each one.

Well said Alec and best wishes.
-
I have never been to Camlik but will def give it a go next trip
-
Well said Alec and as much as we appreciate the thanks, they are not required, as we have always eaten well in the Camlik.
We know you are looking for ways to improve everything and we wish you success.
I speak as I find and have no ulterior motive to do otherwise.
May we have many successful restaurants in Uzumlu so we all have a choice and variety.

Alec, i'm not into a slagging match, so you won't bait me I'm afraid. Our visit was in June and friends visited in july - and we are entitled to stick to our opinion. Our time in uzumlu is too precious, why waste it returning to a place that we haven't enjoyed ? If we return for longer, we may well be prepared to give it another go.....we say as we find, nothing more and nothing less.
-
Is there a point to re posting Fi's reply to you?
-
Hey Alec, have to say have not eaten at your place but if somewhere here did good old British puddings, (bread and butter pudding, fruit pies, trifle etc)done properly then they imo would clean up. Totally fed up with baclava, ice cream, rice pudding, and fruit plates.
-
For those of you wondering about Erics post above...goatman copied and re posted my post in answer to her post earlier in this thread but added nothing else !
Within 3 mins it has been deleted? :o
Brings back a similar incident a few months ago when another Uzumlu member deleted all her posts!:(
Coincidental me thinks not! ;)

i tried to post a reply with a quote but got it wrong. this is all i said
well what can i say to that. youre barking up the wrong tree. i do not see the relevence as to whether i live here or not as i have my own opinions like eveyone else and read this forum alot where i glean information. i have not backstabbed any one and have purely made my observations. im sure everyone has got something to say about someone else which is detrimental but i dont go down that road which is also why i have stayed anon.i have not been on this forum before under any other names. my comment about you and the camlik might have been a bit below the belt but it was made as an obsevation by me passing it over the summer holidays. maybe alot of people walk there in which case i apologise for my comments.
-
Chris,
They have quite a few proper English meals now such as, pasties, chicken pies, fab fish and chips in crispy batter (guess whats my favourite), faggots, mushy peas as well as apple pie etc, plus of course their Turkish menu.

"Personally" you have not, of course. Hmmm you may be right. A technicality, good one. Answer me a straight question with a straight answer. Have any members of your family posted on CBF? If the answer is yes, please tell me their CBF user name(s).
Bet you won't get round that one with a technicality.

You are not so good now, I'm disappointed. I know who you are and you know I know. Put your name to your accusations, people like you make me weary lately.

Robert
I have said nothing about accusations or back stabbing. I don't know and I'm not particularly interested. Someone else can answer that if they wish. I simply don't like people being controversial and anonymous. I asked you not to be and you complied, that will do for me - it isn't my argument (I have enough of my own it seems ;) )
If it was down to me I'd make you all meet in Uzumlu village centre and have a lovely group hug, life really is too short.
-
eric
best you leave this alone. i believe it was your wife who backstabbed the locals about there donations as well as you on the forum. so much for intergrating into the community. Now leave this alone
-
scunner
well said ill be in the village waiting
-
I am not going down that road again, it is in the past and gone. Threats? Let it lie now
-
OK Fi and Jen don't get on. The group hug idea aside, let's leave this now, you can tear verbal lumps out of each other by email, it's far more personal ;)
I am going to delete any posts after this one that don't discuss the title "Restaurants in Uzumlu". What a controversial title that is :P
-
back to topic
a few of is went down the salihli last night and had a lovely cheap meal. still good food and prices
-
If you visit a restaurant in Uzumlu, do local expats talk to each other or just glare at one another? Is it better in season when there are happy holidaymakers around. This is the impression given.

-
Beautifully crowbarred into topic Baz :D
-
Just as a comment to Alec- you are quite right that restraunt critics may well return to sample a restraunt at some point in the future but probably not before they have written about the bad experience in the National press. The subtle difference is that they don't foot the bill where as we do. My nights in turkey are precious and given the large number of restraunts in the surrounding area why would you go back somewhere where you know the last time you went it was a big mistake.
This is not to say that I have been to your restraunt - I have sadly never been to Uzumlu I am just commenting on why people don't go back somewhere after a bad meal.
Anyhoo best of luck to you- maybe I will visit one day

If we were there we would offer you all a BBQ, but unfortunately stuck in old blighty at the moment. Wish we could join you all. Have fun, you'll love it - take a mooch around Cadianda too, fantastic for peace and quiet (and goats).[:X] :)
-
English puds - now there's an idea! I'm working on it, along with other warming changes to the place and the menu. At the moment we have apple pie, pancakes (real proper pancakes) and ice cream. I had always felt that so many other places were providing English breakfasts there wasn't much point in offering another one, but winter might change that. We can always give you a real good Turkish breakfast though.
Or, at the risk of advertising the opposition, go up to Kirk Pinar restaurant on the Çmeli road above Nif for breakfast, have a day out in the mountains (really spectacular scenery!) and end up in Üzümlü for an evening meal.

this is all really making me snigger
have been holding back any opinions for fear of being called prejudiced and judgemental again
go for it Tinx, you'll be fine, was there last week, ( yes - even without a special 'I'm an outsider' pass ) went with trepidation, saw lots of Turkish villagers, a donkey living in the downstairs of a house, several cows, goats, chickens and sheep
they were all friendly
the scariest thing was the ghastly houses built right at the top of the village, some kind of pretentious green things with white ballastrades and fake stone entrance/storage area
the area was a lot bigger than I remember, and we ambled for 2 hours through little lanes, gorgeous
anyway, as this is a restaurant thread, we stopped starving and thirsty at a place on the corner with orange and green chairs, had a beer, but they never appeared again to see if we wanted food, so went to a very tasty lokanta in Gunlukbashi
I refuse to say any negative comments about this poor service, I'm sure it was just an oversight - or maybe it was because we were outsiders
ooops ! sorry !
-
Let us in Uzumlu know where you are all going next week .... we might like to come!! Bet its not in the Wine House! And no we dont all glare at each in bars and restaurants .... we hug and kiss each other!! Scunner ... wheres the speed-hate restaurant??: :)
-
We'll be very happy to issue visas, even for Calisites. We can even provide an armed guard from the frontier.
Seriously, happy to see you any time.

Gendarma often have road block at top of hill just before Uzumlu!

Thats a thought bikerchickblonde prehaps we had better ask the Jandarma to let them pass.. ;):D

:)I just opened this topic because I saw so many replies, thinking it must be great up there for a meal,
:o I'd rather go to Iraq with my reinforced double gussets,let me know what night and i'll wait in Scarlets for you all to come back,and whoever that was saying about people who dont live there, get a life mate, you've only bought a bit of property, not the Taj Mahal, ;)

LOL Laffa
I think we should rename the Uzumlu section Gaza strip.
seriously we are thinking of visiting after reading a posting saying that they had a lovely day wondering about the streets. Where in Fethiye do you get the dolmus from?
-
Scunner - now when did you take that picture? I don't remember...
-
Get the dolmus from the bus station behind the big garage across all the roads from the Tuesday Market . They go about once an hour and its an interesting and picturesque ride up! The gendarma will let you pass the road block if we have a word with them! But I would avoid the speed-hate restaurant which Scunner mentioned .... but not sure where it is! I dont think he is speaking to me tonight???!!! Its definitely not the Wine House because we all love each other in there ! But watch the natterjack toads because they are hopping all over the place at the moment! I kissed one tonight but my Prince has yet to appear! Probably age-related! Youngsters just dont have any taste!!

Laffa, its really sad that you feel like that because most of us Uzumluites are lovely friendly sociable people, and if I was out in Uzumlu at the moment I'd be the first to meet you all with a hug and a few drinkies to share around. Do venture up some time - Uzumlu village is absolutely beautiful, wonder around the little lanes and see real Turkish village life. :) GB - invitation for BBQ still stands for sometime next year if our dates co-incide [:X]
-
For those of you coming up by Dolmus, be aware that they only run about 2 hourly after a certain time. Maybe someone who uses the service can give more detail. Although, maybe the people coming from Calis with cars can give the others a lift back.
-
I'm sure we can arrange a bus for you.

Well, the Fethiye Hash are eating in the Camlik on Sunday 26th. Why dont you come for a walk with us first ,see some spectacular views and build up an appetite for a good meal. We might even meet some of the squabbling factions. !!

Has a date been decided yet?
Oops, WW had replied already :-\
-
If you want to come to the walk on Sunday (not too strenuous) meet at the Camlik at 11.30am. It will be no longer that 1.5 hours then back to the Camlik for their lovely lamb Tandir.

Dammit, son is over for the week. Hmm, I will see if he fancies a walk.....

That sounds like a damn good idea! watch this space.

Which one sounds like a good idea? I much prefer Alec's "I'm sure we can arrange a bus for you" to Wickwilly's "Why dont you come for a walk with us first" ;)
-
yes, two good ideas
-
I only see one
-
:) POOKIE, I dont feel like "THAT", my post was tongue in cheek , just having a laugh, I have actually been to Uzumlu,though not eaten there, ;)
-
LOL, I know that Laffa ! But I'm feel victimised, everyones going to Uzumlu for a hooley and I stuck in flipping Cambridge looking forward to bangers and mash for tea :( ;) :)
-
:)Well who's the luckiy one then . ;)
-
Some of us would love to have bangers and mash for tea :)
-
Yeh, real bangers with HP sauce (do they do them in Uzumlu, to keep on topic), I've got to put up with steak again:D

Alec - now you know what to put on the menu !!! (I may even be persuaded back ;): :):D). (Baz, sorry, it has to be Branston sauce......)
-
Same old, same old.....13 pages of 'informed' chat about Uzumlu restaurants by people who have never been here and people who do not live here.
-
Chris,
If not happy, don't read it. You know what its like on the forum.
Oh!!! I have been to Uzumlu and I live in Turkey, That qualifies me to answer you, by your reckoning.
-
No Baz No
You have been to Uzumlu and you live in Turkey, but you don't LIVE in Uzumlu do you :D
Also, you haven't been to each restaurant 50 times, so your opinion is worthless ;)
-
I have been with 50 people a couple of times, does that count.:D

I had dinner at Rick Klein's restaurant in Cornwall. I'd love to tell you all about it Baz but I only went once.
-
I know someone with a similar name to that, Calvin Stien.:D

Actually I will tell you, it was bloody rubbish. No wonder, I've just googled Rick Klein and he's a photographer! Why didn't he just say :D
I knew those pilchards were out of a tin

Try googling Rick Stein might get a better result ;)
-
I live ,eat and drink in Uzumlu and still get flack ,still who gives a fig .Calvin
-
Scunner, if you've eaten in Rick Stein's restaurant once your opinion is worthless. If you said you had eaten there say 10 times then your opinion has some worth. It's simple really.
-
I think you might be the one who is simple Chris :D
-
:D:D:D IBH> ;)

RFHC

Thats the second time he has made that statement, who is going to frequent a restaurant 10 times if they didnt like the first meal or even second meal?
-
Excuse meeee! Mr. Scunner .. isn't calling Chris Tippett 'simple' just slightly rude?? : :) And anyway, Rick Klein is Rick Stein's German brother!
-
Only to check if all 10 dishes on the menu are cr*p. Nah, only an idiot would do that.:D
Menu,
Spam, Spam ,Spam and Spam.
Spam Spam and Spam.
Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam and Spam.
And of course the old favourite, Spam.

i hope you get rice chips and salad with the spam baz
-
Why would anyone, in their right mind, go into a restaurant anywhere to eat and then find they have a bad meal, service etc...go back again once, let alone 10 times.
Sods law they will talk about it to their friends etc to tell of their experience. Thats life as they say!

If I go to a restaurant and have a bad meal I wont go back again unless I hear the place has improved. When I was here on holiday restaurants had a 1 strike and your out rule with me.
Having said that I have eaten at places and enjoyed the meal and seen other people's comments that they thought the meal was rubbish. As Fi said 'That's life", in the end the choice is ours.
-
I have had bad meals in a few restaurant in Uzumlu , including Camlik but as time passes i have given them another try because as you know Chefs are changed out here more often than socks !! Mustaphers went downhill when he moved but as i stated before he seems to have pulled it round and things have improved, The chef at the Wine House enjoys cooking and therfore the food standard has improved ,if you blank a place because of one dodgy visit ,none of us would dine at any of the eateries in Uzumlu
-
Yes, it's exactly the same as indian restaurants in the UK.
-
Sorry jinky, I put the british menu on not the Turkish version,
Turkish menu,
Chips, rice and salad.
Salad, rice and chips.
Rice, salad and chips.
Salad, chips and rice.
Chips, salad and rice.
and of course rice chips and salad.

Indeed RFHC:D
-
I must be stupid. Am I the only one who doesn't know what RFHC is?
-
yes
-
:D Its a cover version Mercs. ;)

Merhaba, bence Cadianda çok guzel
-
Ben de.

RFHC came from a post from Gorgeous Bird, where she said she had a "right flippin hearty chuckle" at something or other. This became RFHC , and now is part of CBF banter abbreviations, along with Laffa's now famous "IBH", which is "In bulk here" - apparently a way Scousers describe laughing quite a bit :)
-
I understand you can have a RFHC in many Uzumlu rstaurants. Sorry to go off topic Chris, I think I may have rescued it :D
-
This Walk at 11.30 on sunday, beginning and ending at Çmlik and followed by lunch. -Do you think walking boots are needed or would simple sensible shoes do? I ask because son is over and I was hoping he could join in. If not, I don't think we'll be coming... that's if he WANTS to be dragged out of bed at the 'crack of dawn' for a walk, LOL!!!
-
Trainers are the norm, walking boots better, some have even done the hash in flip flops, though not recommended.
Off topic I know, just answering question:D
