How to choose a tent: a buying guide

By Peter on Oct 21, 2020 09:00 am

Our comprehensive guide on how to choose a tent will ensure dry and comfortables night under canvas whatever the weather

If you ask me, time in a tent is time well spent. I'm usually at my most content when under canvas. With the distractions of modern life behind, I find camping has a detoxifying effect on me. At the end of a day on the trail, I pitch my tent, eat, drink, sleep. In the morning I strike my tent and then repeat. It's a simple, but good life.

However, knowing how to choose a tent is not so simple. There is a slew of options available with a glossary of bewildering jargon to match. It can be a confusing affair and a potentially expensive one if you get it wrong. However, if you get it right, it will ensure comfort, reliability and some of the best views money can't buy night after night.

A first-timer's guide to hiking the Highlander Velebit

By Peter on Oct 14, 2020 09:00 am

Our Q&A-style guide to hiking the Highlander Velebit covers everything you need to know to get the most out your first Highlander adventure

I just got back from trekking the Highlander Velebit in Croatia, a fantastic journey through an unknown region of Europe. The event proved to be a new and unique way of hiking for me and has the potential to transform the future of hiking holidays.

The Highlander Adventure treks are a perfect introduction into multi-day trekking, striking a fine balance between guided trek and self-sufficient expedition. With most of the logistics taken care of, participants can hike their own hike and really focus on enjoying the trail and being in nature.

Highlander Velebit gear list: what's in my pack

By Peter on Oct 07, 2020 09:00 am

Our Highlander Velebit gear list includes everything you'll need for five days hiking across Croatia's highest mountain range

I recently completed the Highlander Velebit in Croatia, a 104km 5-day trek across the Northern Velebit and Paklenica national parks, one of the Highlander Adventure collection of organised treks.

As usual, I've put together a post-trek equipment list of everything I packed as a guide for future trekkers. Where possible, I've included links to the gear I carried for reference.
