Regardless of the boot you end up with, if it's really wet all the time, chances are it's going to be quite muddy as well. If that's case I would also consider a pair of light weight waterproof gaiters to keep the water and mud out of the boot.  The gaiter will also help shed water from the uppers.
Kind of like what I said?

I have just ordered these Boots

I am guessing that the 45NRTH boots will be better with the built in gator, but you could buy small Goretex gators to help shed water.

Searching thru Google Images for example: wiring diagrams or exploded diagrams or parts assembly or schematics….see Roget’s Thesaurus/Visual thesaurus  sign13

rec.bicycles.tech had an ongoing and lengthy discussion of dynamos and LED. You could search there. The search bar offers alternative searches. Ignore the current spam found there.

Well played, that man. Well played. I tried a few Google searches and came up with nothing of use.

I am awaiting a SON 28 15 dynamo to turn up, but I was wondering what wiring options [diagrams], people are using to wire up their dynamos. I have a plug III ready to go, but was wondering if I run the wiring straight to that and be done with it, or should I run another wire to power a light (I am considering the Exposure Revo Dynamo Light)?

I will generally be using the plug to recharge a storage battery, but do not have any knowledge on how to power the light.

Any ideas/diagrams/photos will be greatly appreciated.

I have just bought the Pacsafe cable safe 200 and a go travel tough lock. the lock is a little heavier, but is a 4 tumbler lock.
hopefully it will be ok for our bush and quick buys locked up out the front of a shop in Australia.

Has anyone tried the shoes from shimano?
I am considering these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/au/en/shimano-mt71-mtb-spd-shoes-2014/rp-prod55381, but thoughts on the older versions would be good.
I know all shoes are a compromise, but besides cycling and walking, I would like the shoes to look like a pair of hiking shoes, not cycling shoes, so I can wear them out and about when I hit a town.
