Yew Ferals! Hasn't it been the longest time? I honestly, like SO many other people, haven't felt the bug to write, film, photograph or create at all this year - instead, I've spent a lot of it just sitting with my emotions and taking this year one day at a time.. And then 10 months [...]
In the pouring rain I roared. My chest felt hollow and full of noise. A giant endless crevasse cracking through my body. I cried in vain as the raindrops melded with my tears. The mountains were testing me, ripping me apart at the seams and putting me back together in her image. I had been [...]
Good morning Ferals! Finally time for another Gear Review! This time, I've had the pleasure of using and abusing the Iridium Hybrid for the ENTIRE winter season so I can bring you a full report on what I loved and what I wasn't the biggest fan of. So first of all, what is it? The [...]
Hello Ferals! Today's blog is all about how and what to pack for a day of running in the mountains. This is the standard kit that I would pack into my Montane VIA Claw 14 if I was heading out for a full day. I do have a much smaller running pack that just squeezes in a bit [...]
Introduction The Nucleus has been my go-to for just about everything this winter. I’ve been using and abusing it for the last three months and it has fast become my favourite piece. It’s comfortable enough to wear all day when I’m at work but has also become my go-to layer for winter running. It’s surprisingly [...]
Good morning, Ferals! Two blogs in one week - what on earth? Well, this one is actually coming to you a tad late as I forgot to post my October run of the month - but I first ran it in October, so does that count? It's one I've ran a few times now because [...]
Hello Ferals! Following on from a couple of blogs ago about Down and Synthetic insulation, I thought it would be wise to chase it up with how your insulation piece should actually fit. Too often do I see people out in jackets that are far too big or far too tight on them - both [...]
Good Afternoon Ferals! I realise that I haven't done a gear review in what feels like forever, so I thought I'd share with you my favourite piece to come out of this summer - The Ineo Pro Pants from Montane. I have used and abused them all summer and they still look just as good [...]
Good afternoon, Ferals! I've been excited to write this blog for weeks - we actually ended up shooting a video to partner with this blog for the Trekitt Youtube page; check it out here. I LOVE taking Affy out into the hills but it occurred to me that people may not take as much care [...]
Good Afternoon Ferals! A bit of a 'let's learn something' blog today - let's talk about socks! Good socks are the most important part of my kit. For a long day walk, I will take an extra pair in my pack in case I get particularly sweaty or if I accidentally end up in a [...]
