Boots: Your feet will thank you if you treat them right. Tramping for days can really destroy an otherwise lovely foot, unless you have the correct footwear! Your feet need to breathe, they don't like getting blisters, enjoy a bit of support and really appreciate not stinking the place up. While we can't promise you all these things, our range of boots will definitely impress you! We stock Crispi, Asolo and Alpina.

Packs: Comfort is paramount when tramping. An ill-fitting pack will cause you discomfort, all the way down to your feet. We have large packs for multi-day trips, smaller ones for shorter journeys, packs laden with features or streamlined ones for the economical traveller- we are sure to have one that suits your needs. They have all been designed to evenly distribute the load, saving you precious energy. The materials are lightweight yet strong, attractive yet rugged. We stock Vaude, Mountain Hardware and Columbia packs.

Tents: Our tents are engineered from the ground up to meet and exceed the expectations of the serious user. Using cutting edge materials and innovative design our range is built to withstand the toughest conditions on the planet. We have got you covered! Learn more about tents from Vaude and Mountain Hardware from their great web sites.

Cookers, Compasses and Camping Kit: All the bits and bobs you need for your outdoor adventure. We have headlamps from Petzl, cookers from Optimus and Kovea, bug repellent from Bushman and so on. These smaller items make great gift ideas, for yourself and others!

The Great Outdoors

There is a lot of other equipment that can make your trip more enjoyable and safe. You must consider navigation, eating, lighting and communication. We can help you get set up! Come in for a look...
