New terkking poles - no competition.... ...... GG LT4's! Can't see what would beat them to be honest. They are superb. |

Ultralight Outdoor Gear in the UK Just to confirm that I find them a great company as well; they post purchased goods very quickly after an order, and what I especially like is that they will give an honest opinion about a product ... |

Merino Wool Shorts I find them great - light, warm, comfortable, good at not smelling! I run in mine, as well as walk. They stay warm when wet/damp, but yes they dry a bit slower, and because they are a tight fit t... |

Perfect fleece? I'm with Todd and Dan - I don't own or use fleece anymore, a light insulated jacket is for me a far superior product - light and warm. Ace for backpacking or just going to the pub! |

Scotland... Deffo early May! I agree with Martin, a few days wild camping in Fisherfield Forest is just so so ace! Some good hills, the coast, great rivers, wildlife, solitude... in my opinion the best of S... |

Shoes/trail runners on wet rocks As a fell runner in the UK for nearly 20 years I've spend a long time trying to find the best shoe... and for me the best grip on wet rock is the Walsh; I've put a link to a shop that sells... |

Gatewood Cape and Serenity NetTent I've used the Gatewood Cape and Serenity Net Tent combo in Scotland in the late autumn; the weather was wet and windy; I lowered the cape as Scott suggested and it stood up to a lot of bad weat... |

GG Lightrek 4 I'm just back from a five day trip with my strap-free poles and agree the poles are fantastic - these are the only poles, including ski poles, that I have ever used where the locking mechanism ... |

Yorkshire Dales Looks like a great trip... I grew up walking around the Dales, and although not far away from them now I tend to focus more on Scotland and the Lakes... so this is a timely reminder of what's o... |

Gossamer Gear Lightrek 4 Adjustable CF Trekking Poles A fantastic product; I do not know how they could be improved - initially I though that 'no straps' would be an issue, but it isn't! The poles are strong, very light, very comfortable....... |

Gossamer Gear I ordered a product from GG (and I live in the UK) and it arrived quickly but unfortunately it broke on the first use; I sent Grant an email and a photo and without question he sent a replacement - wh... |

Stephenson 2R ... but then what tent is?! I have the 2R version with windows, and find this tent roomy and very stable; we camped at a high level (for the UK!) on a mountain side in Scotland and the tent was a s... |

Antigravity Gear .4 oz pepsi style alcohol stove This is one of my favourite pieces of gear: cheap, light, functional, and just plain pleasing. I intend buying a few for mates for birthday presents as these aren't very common in the UK, and the... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Jacket This is the perfect jacket for so many conditions and places. With layering I wore it as my main warm wear whilst camping at 700m in winter on a col in Scotland, in snow and winds; it's also ... |

Hilleberg Rajd I managed to pick up a damaged Rajd (cheap!) in the States last year, and it's been in my cupboard until this weekend, sad to say. I took the tent as we were running in a two day mountain marat... |

SMD Wild Oasis I'm just back from 2 nights' backpacking in Scotland, with my Wild Oasis, the first time I have used a floorless shelter. I think that for Scotland this shelter is as minimalist as I dare go,... |
