We’ve all got budgets limits we need to stay within, and trail running shoes aren’t cheap, but if you find a hardwearing trail running shoe that’s suitable for all your off-road running needs, then it’s worth shelling out a bit more for it. Better to buy a shoe made with robu...
My cheap, off-brand poles made it so far, why now?! A screw had broken and the internal hardware had disintegrated. I pack out the pieces and Yonder lent me one of his trekking poles to descend Mt. Madison with. I was very thankful because Madison was largely boulder hopping down a ...
1.4 miles from Trail Running Scotland #13 of 63 Specialty lodging in Aviemore "Enjoyed a 3-night stay, with everything comfortable, clean and with the expected facilities for this price bracket. Certainly quieter than Premier Inns which in my experience suff...
Comments about Sea To Summit Trail. The Sea To Summit Trail in Squamish begins at the bottom of the Sea To Sky Gondola, finishes at the lodge at the top, and passes scenic views of Howe Sound and the top of Shannon Falls.

I have stood in puddles, walked across streams (ankle deep) and ridden in truly wet conditions where the spray off my front tire would have soaked any of my other non-waterproof shoes. And my feet stayed dry. While hiking, foraging, or clearing blowdown on trails and kicking out drains,...
They were cheap and beat up and it was an impulse purchase, but, why not? Forty bucks lighter I walked out of the store with my first set of cross country skis and boots (that’s a deal, right!?). After contemplating what to do today to stave off cabin fever, I strapped on the...
* And yes, thank you for bringing this up, of course, trail running won’t change. The pure and simple activity of putting on a pair of shoes and finding some peace and adventure on a trail in the outdoors will not change. 11 January 2025 ...
At one point I realized why parking had been so cheap. It was free from 5pm to 8am. AKA I only paid for an hour, and would have to re-up in the morning, because it was a day lot, not an overnight lot. Well, shit. Worst case we pay the ticket I guess. 10/10 would be a...
