As an incentive to supporting this blog and the work of Wales Outdoors, a lifestyle business that really ought to be applauded for it’s work of getting people outdoors, fit both physically and mentally, and being a social hub often for those without a wide network of friends (or indeed they have this but none of their people want to join them on the hill) I am making available to pay for subscribers the following links and discounts. But, first off and again for paid subscribers only, my take on what kit you should have for day long hikes and for ultra lightweight backpacking.
This is a tried and tested over forty five years honing of the contents of my own backpack. It’s mountaineering gold :)
