Where are our customers going?
No, we are not losing customers! However some of them are planning great trips which we think will be interest to others. So we wanted to celebrate your plans and in some cases, support the charity based efforts you are undertaking and help in a small way raise some awareness.

 So we've started a page dedicated to our customers, their blogs or websites, so that when you are bored and want some inspiration, ideas and suggestions, you might find something here. (Great for a coffee break too!)

We have had a lot of feedback in recent weeks about the site and the podcasts, so we thought we would share them with you.

People from all over the world are wanting to find out more about going lightweight and where they can get products and information from.

Please contact us is there's something you are after. You never know, we might know someone who can help!

No 288 - 2010 World Record LEJOG Attempt!
Lands End to John O'Groats or LEJOG as it is better known is one long distance walking and cycling trip in the UK, that most people consider at some stage in their outdoors life. It isn't as massive as the Appellation Trail, or as wild and dangerous as walking to the North Pole say, but it does seem to be ingrained into the core of every British citizen as 'the long one'. At around 900 miles as the crow flies, we have the option to take the rambling rural high road of costal paths and walking trails, or the fastest route either by bike or on foot. David Stevens has decided to tackle the route in April 2010 running 60 miles a day, to attempt a world-record and raise funds for some worthy causes in the process. Totally unsupported (its against the rules) and on his own, carrying all that he needs, he is setting out to beat the current record of 17 days. This is an extreme lightweight trip!

No 286 - Croatia on a Shoestring Pt 4
In this final part of the series, Beth and Alice visit a few more of the breathtaking islands, popular with tourists and especially the boating fraternity. However they soon escape and make their way over Hvar Island and experience just how helpful Croatians can be when looking for accomodation.

Finally, Trogir one of the oldest and most exciting cities on the Croatian side of Adriatic coast, is their final destination, and of course as it is the end of their trip, time for a slap up meal and a chat about the trip and Croatia as a whole.
