When you’re getting out and about in the UK or further afield; whether you’re hiking on the High Peak or climbing in Machu Picchu, make sure you’re prepared. Whilst woggles are an optional extra, pretty much everything else on our list is a cast iron necessity.
Whatever you’re doing and wherever you’re going, our guide to getting out will get you going further than ever before. So get ready to stock up and strike out, because we’ve got guides to everything from al fresco cooking to compasses; from fleeces to fleecy sleeping bags to baby carriers (no inter relationship implied!)
We’ve got the low-down on the latest Global Positioning Systems, utilising satellite navigation to help you find your way home from space. Talking of space; we’ve got gargantuan group tents - just about big enough to eclipse the moon. (So don’t forget your binoculars will you!) We’ve got smaller tents too: one berth, two berth, three berth, more!
Steer clear of calluses with our guide to boots, whether they were made for walking or hiking. Check out our guide to outer fashion, outdoors: coats and trousers; jackets and all manner of stuff.
Oh, and you’ll probably need a rucksack too – to fit it all in. Don’t worry, they’re plenty big enough!
Once you really start to get out and about, you’ll never come back. So get out there and get going. The world is yours to explore; little by little or one continent at a time! Pick up your boots and pick a destination. Oh, and don’t forget to drop us a postcard!
