As Summer fades into fall and fleeces replace flip flops - we celebrate the joy of Autumnal trekking. With photoshoot plans ravaged by illness we found ourselves in the heart of the Peak District armed with nothing more than a backdrop and a barn.
With the help of the walkers we found traversing our short stretch of the Pennine Way we spent the afternoon shooting the new Fjällräven Autumn Winter collection. Our models were the locals, the visitors and the purists who found themselves spending.
On the first weekend of September, Japanese Outdoor masters Snow Peak brought their iconic Snow Peak Way festival to the UK for it's second year.

We teamed up with Skye based Birch Coffee and Oat Milk supremos Minor Figures to fuel the walkers of Skye with some pour over coffee from the top of the Storr. With the help of the Snow Peak IGT setup and some hardy helpers we set up what might have been Scotland’s most remote coffee shop (even if just for a day!).
Last month we laced up our runners, slipped into some of the new 66°North running collection and took to the hills with Edinburgh based running club ‘Brae’. The new collection of trail ready kit from the Icelandic Outdoor powerhouse has now landed at Nordic Outdoor and you can learn more about what makes these styles so special on the latest Nordic Outdoor Blog.

We spent a few days late this Summer exploring the West Coast of Scotland with our friends from Orienteer Mapazine, 114. Index and MW Guiding.

While Scotland has some of the most exciting outdoor adventures in Europe we sometimes fail to appreciate the possibilities which lie right on our doorstep. The Seven Hills of Edinburgh however are a weekend adventure which can easily be tackled in a day and take in some of the capitals best views.
