A trip to The Lakes!

Last week, John, our Business Development Manager took a well earned break and went up to the lakes with his other half, Sammy. They decided to tackle Helvellyn, which depending which route you take can be a bit tricky. The route they plumped for skipped out Swirral Edge and Striding edge, which can be notorious when the wind picks up. Check out their route...


Just as well really, we'd much rather see our Business Development Manager return to HQ refreshed and in one piece!

They both also paid a visit to Castlerigg Stone Circle, a prehistoric monument near Keswick. Like Stonehenge, theres always that wonderment regarding who built it and why. It is believed however to have been used for ceremonial and religious purposes.

Of course it always helps being surrounded by lots of first rate kit when your trying to plan a visit to the lakes. Here's a run down of some of the gear that helped them along their way;

• Haglofs Lim 45 Rucksack
• The North Face S/S Alberta Vertex Tee
• Suunto A-10 Compass
• Brasher Altai Boots
• Mountain Hardwear Drystein Jacket
