Happy Christmas

We wish all our readers, friends, followers and the whole outdoors community a happy Christmas.

We hope you’ve had a great 2017 and have enjoyed your time on the hills and in the countryside of the UK and farther afield.

Thanks to all those who have supported us this year and to those readers who follow us. Please tell your friends about us too!

It has been great working this year with representatives of outdoors brands, luminaries in the world of adventure and all the thousands of women and men who regularly or even occasionally take to the great outdoors.

A special thanks to the unpaid volunteers of the UK’s rescue teams who are on call at all hours of the day to help us when we get into difficulties, along with the professional rescue organisations who support the teams.

We hope you have a peaceful but active festive season.

Merry Christmas to all of you!
