A rechargeable battery is a must these days
For those of us into outdoor pursuits, it often takes a special type of technology to make it into our kit bag. What I mean is that, fo the purists, there is nothing better than trully getting away form it all.
Although, there are now few hikers who don’t take their mobile phone and many of us have taken to the advantages offered by satellite navigation. Even on more than one occasion, I have taken my laptop computer up the hills and have been glad to do so. But remember to pack a rechargeable battery for any electronic equipment you take along – there is nothing worse than getting stuck in the middle of nowhere without power – especially if you planned to watch a movie in your tent.

A great day quad bike trekking
Quad bike trekking was something that I’d always wanted to try, but – after years of procrastination – I only recently got round to doing it.
It was an amazing day out. Taking a tirp around the hills and valleys is fun a tht ebes tof times, and on more than a few occasions I’ve spent the day travelling around the couuntry in a 4×4, but quad bikes are completely differnet.
The camaraderie amongst you and your fellow quaders is great, and you can really get some power out of these little things as you tear up the turf. In short, id recommend it to anyone who wants an amazing day out.

Cashmere jumper, the best for the great outdoors
I do a lot of climbing and walking in the hills and, as I got more intot he habit of trekking, kitted myself out with tthe best (or atleat the most pporopriate) gear.
This usually menas going to a specialist hillwalking store and buying the latest, new-fangled material in jackets and rucksacks etc. However, I was pleasnatly surprised when I began to wear my much loved cashmeres out on the hills.
A cashmere jumper is so good at keeping out the cold and it is fashionable too, that I recommend it to anyone who want sot look good and be supremely well kitted out while hiking about in the great outdoors.
