  Feedback:

We have had a lot of feedback in recent weeks about the site and the podcasts, so we thought we would share them with you.

People from all over the world are wanting to find out more about going lightweight and where they can get products and information from.

Please contact us is there's something you are after. You never know, we might know someone who can help!

"Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!"
 
Wow, it's been so hot here and at various places around the country that we know what will happen next. Heavy downpours and lots of storms, which will release that lovely feeling of 'fresh cleansed' air and then it'll start all over again. Hopefully!

The Travel Tap has been flying out of the door as the wild water sources start to dry up and doubt creeps in, quite naturally, about water quality. We've also now taken on the Aquaguard In-Line version of the same filter and that too is proving popular. Not least as it retrofits to virtually any hoser system and comes with a neat 'tap adapter'. This means you could take that and the filter to distant countries and use it as the main water source for loads of bottles. Cool eh?

The wood stoves continue to be as popular as ever and are accompanying people all over the world to be used as their main cooking system. Pictures to follow!

The Outdoors Station is starting to go through a bit of a revamp and there's now a Facebook Group for people to join. We will try and use that as a central base for podcast suggestions, releases and keeping people in touch.

That's about it this week. Just as busy as ever and still editing the TGOC 09 series, but it'll be worth it!

All the best everyone.

What to Traditionlists think of a
Lightweight LEJOG Backpacker?

In April 2009 John Cromarty set off from Lands End for John O'Groats over a high level route, using typical lightweight gear and knowledge. Here I chat to him about his trip, his gear and more importantly the reaction of many traditionalist walkers to what he was doing and if he was, in their eyes 'safe'. We also talk tarps, wood burners and Inov8s. Hopefully inspiration for you to try a Long Distance Path in this UK this year.

A Different Summer Break!
Once again Andy and I get out to the Destinations and Focus 09 Show to look for somewhere a bit different and of interest for our listeners. So this podcast includes information on Vietnam, returning to live the Hippy Lifestyle in a big huge orange truck and taking a long months holiday which includes volunteering your skills for a week somewhere on route. Plus a bit of gear chat about the new Sigma fixed lens landscape camera. Enjoy!
