Dear Backpacking Light Customers,

As you may know, we had the privilege of taking over Backpacking Light from its former owners, Bob and Rose, in June 2024. We are proud to continue their legacy and remain committed to the values that made Backpacking Light special: a family-focused approach, exceptional customer service, and top-quality gear.

As fellow thru-hikers and owners of Valley and Peak, an outdoor retailer since 2018, we are dedicated to maintaining the high standards you've come to expect. Our product range includes trusted brands and innovative cottage gear, many of which are not easily found in the UK. 

After careful consideration, we have decided to temporarily pause the backpackinglight.co.uk site while we explore new strategies and opportunities for the future. This pause will help us realign our efforts to better meet the evolving needs of the outdoor community and continue providing the best service possible.

In the meantime, we invite you to explore the Valley and Peak website, where you can still find quality products and services that reflect our shared values.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to sharing more with you soon. 

Best regards, 
Jim, Managing Director
