Equipment Reviews
Gear We Are was launched at the beginning of September 2010 with just one aim: to tell people what’s good – and what’s rubbish – in the world of the outdoors.
Their reviewers are not paid a penny, so you can be sure that they will tell it like it is. They always try to match the reviewer to the product to give a ‘real-world’ review and explain how a product made their lives better.
So, if you are looking to get some new equipment and would like to read some independent advice take a look at Gear We Are by clicking here.

The Tick Alert campaign aims to raise awareness of tick-borne diseases both at home and abroad. Ticks are second only to mosquitoes for carrying disease to humans. Changes in farming practices and global warming mean that there are more ticks in the countryside in many parts of the UK and Europe. Diseases are contracted from the bite of infected ticks. The primary illnesses to be aware of are Lymes disease in the UK and Tick Borne Encephalitis (TBE), which is potentially fatal and currently endemic in 27 countries in mainland Europe, including many established and new holiday destinations for outdoor tourism. Travellers and holidaymakers visiting rural areas are at risk from tick bites, as are those spending time in public spaces including beer gardens, picnic spots and parks and gardens. High risk groups are those participating in camping, hiking/trekking, cycling, climbing and other outdoor activities and pursuits. More information can be obtained by visiting the NHS Direct website.
