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
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 […]
Kate: our new Outdoor Chic (Part 2)

Protecting wildlife in the North Sea
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 […]
Wanna show Outdoor Chics a little love?
I can’t believe it, Outdoor Chics has been nominated to win GO Outdoors’ Outdoor Blog of the year again — and I have you wonderful readers to thank for that! Last year I was super chuffed to see I came second in the awards and who knows what could happen this year? This last year […]
The inconvenience of convenience
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, […]
Challenging women to get their adventure on
Last week I had a phone call from a thickly Scottish-accented Greg from AmpleFind — a curated shopping platform for all sorts of sporting goods — saying he wanted to interview me for a set of features they were writing on influential sports and adventure bloggers.
