Keela Hydron Softshell Men’s Jacket Review

Keela Hydron Softshell Men’s Jacket Review

I’ve recently got a great new jacket by Keela called the Hydron Softshell. It’s an excellent coat that recently I’ve been wearing whenever I’ve had the chance. It’s been on several big adventures so far and has been thoroughly put through its paces. The images in this review are mainly from a climb up waterfall in the Peak District. The walk started off calmly enough. We had walked up from a reservoir, following the river as it meandered up the…

Looking After Your Home When You’re Away

Looking After Your Home When You’re Away

In the summer, we’re going on a bit of an adventure… we are going to travel from Norway to Croatia through a whole host of European countries.

It’s going to be pretty epic. So far it’s been a few months in the planning and we’ve…

  Vicky and I both had a week off last month and were after somewhere in the UK to do some walking and scrambling. After having climbed all of the big 13 in Snowdonia and having ridge walked in the snow in the Lake District we thought it would be great to go somewhere else. Scotland is somewhere we are super keen to go but we need at least a fortnight to get the most out of the mountains up…

Fatyak Samos SUP Stand Up Paddle Board Review

Fatyak Samos SUP Stand Up Paddle Board Review

  I have had a stand up paddle board (SUP) now for over two years and it has definitely had quite a bit of use over that time. I’ve not used it as much as I’d have liked though as having just one means that it’s hard to take other people out with you. Adventures on the sea are always much more fun with other people. It was because of this that I’ve been longing for a second SUP for…
