In photos: A wander through Fontainebleau

In photos: A wander through Fontainebleau

With spring on its way, you’re probably starting to plan some fun adventures, so I thought I’d inspire you with some photos from our microadventure in the bouldering paradise that is Fontainebleau. Located in a forest, just 50km south of Paris, we paid a brief visit to this natural beauty on our three-week tour of Europe last summer. […]

5 top tips for camping in the rain

Camping in freezing snow or dry heat brings about unique challenges, some more challenging than others. But these camping conditions can become quite the memorable experience, albeit with the right attitude, the right gear, and especially good camping routines. So don’t let a little downpour hinder you from cavorting with majestic nature while you explore the wilderness outside, […]

Competition: Win a gorgeous AW16 Buff

It’s a bit nippy out there, isn’t it? Fancy wrapping up in a gorgeous Buff and getting blown about on a windy hillside somewhere? Well, guess what? Kitshack has given me two Buffs to give away to two lucky readers (you even get to choose your own up to a value of £60)! When I first started […]

Introductory adventure gear from Columbia

If you’re new to the outdoor scene and you’re a little daunted looking at the plethora of outdoor gear to kit you out for your first adventure, then I have a suggestion for you. It can take hours searching through brand upon brand, trying to understand the different terminology each uses to describe its product attributes. So […]

Climbing in the Peaks: A first time guide

January 30, 2017 By: Kate2 Comments

A first time guide to climbing in the Peaks: climbing with hang glider

It was the day after Boxing Day, that weird ‘Bermuda Triangle’ of time between Christmas and New Year, where you can’t remember what day it is and it’s still acceptable to be in your pyjamas at three in the afternoon, surrounded by cheese and chutney. However this time, in an effort to jump start the new […]

Introducing our newest Outdoor Chic: Documentary filmmaker Kate Williams

Last week I introduced documentary filmmaker, Kate Williams, as the newest member of our Outdoor Chics team, but there was far too much interesting content to put into just one blog. So here’s part two, where Kate tells us more about her favourite rainy day adventures, how to get out if you’re really not feeling it and […]

Protecting wildlife in the North Sea

December 16, 2016 By: Margaux2 Comments

Protecting wildlife in the North Sea with DFDS

I’ve always loved the environment — our mountains, rivers, seas, beaches, wildlife, plant life. But recently I’ve been really challenged to change my attitude — from one that just wants it to flourish and be protected from all the nasty stuff, to one that actually takes action and does something about it. So I was super chuffed […]

The inconvenience of convenience

November 21, 2016 By: Margaux12 Comments

Inspiration to beat the excuses to get outside

Convenience is your worst enemy. Well, it’s certainly my worst enemy when it comes to ensuring I get my weekly dose of outdoor time. Seriously, think about it. How many times have you wanted to go for a run after work, but found that the sofa was a little too enticing after a long day at the office, […]
