"Summer Is Here!!"

Really. Er where?

Well everywhere it seems, as our customers have been sorting themselves out with all sorts of kit for trips in the UK, the Pyrenees and beyond. Lightweight certainly seems the way to go when it comes to water and shelter, as so many customers have come back thrilled with their Aquagear bottle, and one of our new range of lightweight tarps.

Yes the tarps are finally here, thank goodness. We like a few other manufacturers have been caught with the mood swings in China, which means if they decide you won't get it, then you won't get it, no matter how much you plead.

However we are thrilled with the quality and thank you to those customers who have waited so patiently. Talking of which the Golite Shangri-La 3 is as popular as ever, and following my own trip to Cape Wrath with one, I decided to commission a solo Half Hex ground sheet, which enables a spacious vestibule area for solo hikers.

To celebrate the launch on this new product, we have a special promotion on this month only. If you buy a SL3 you can get the Half Hex Ground Sheet at half price!

And finally you'll see below the first of the much awaited podcasts from the said Cape Wrath Trip is now up. I am also just editing Rose's first podcast series, regarding a long distance equestrian trip, for something a little bit different.

It's been a busy old year, must get a holiday soon ......
