Our sincerest thanks and warmest welcome to the generous partners supporting our upcoming adventures.
Go nice places, do good things.
It's great to be a Brand Ambassador (Alpkiteer) for Alpkit. They are a company that are based locally to me and they have a fantastic outlook on the way life and business should be.
Their company motto "Go nice places, do good things" pretty much says it all.
They are a bunch of really nice people selling quality outdoor products with an ethical approach to suppliers and sustainability. I like that, a lot.
They also only sell their products through their own flagship stores (Ambleside & Keswick in The Lake District, and Hathersage in The Peak District), the HQ showroom, or online via their website which means that they can offer seriously competitive prices compared to manufacturers retailing through the high street.
They have a diverse range of products too. From superbly made Bikepacking luggage, Tents & Camping equipment, excellent Bouldering mats and Climbing hardwear, a mind boggling array of Dry-bags, Bivvy Bags, Headtorches, Down Jackets, and an extensive range of Technical & Casual Clothing.
Along these they also have their highly regarded Sonder Bikes range with everything from Hardcore Hardtails to Steel Touring Bikes, Bikepacking Rigs, and even a Carbon Endurance Racer.
I currently own a Sonder Frontier and a Signal Ti (which just happens to be the best trail hardtail that I've ever ridden).
Please take a look at their website and see for yourselves, I think you'll be impressed.

Thank you to Kevin Dixon and his team at Aqua Xtreme (Kayaks/Packrafts/SUP's) for accepting me into their Brand Ambassador Program.
I will be using one of their Commando Packrafts as part of my adventures both in the UK and Overseas.
Aqua Xtreme design & manufacture all of their products in their own factory based in Israel, and are the only Packraft supplier to offer Free Postage on products Worldwide.
Their direct-sell model means that you can buy high quality products considerably cheaper than you would on the High Street (or from most of the US based manufacturers).
Check out their amazing Full Stealth Sea Kayak.

Osprey Europe
I'm a huge fan of Osprey Packs. They have served me well over many years. I have been recommending their Atmos 35 rucksack and Talon Lumbar packs for a long time.
I'm delighted to be testing the two models prior to release on my Autumn 2016 trip to Nepal. (Stratos 34 rucksack and Talon 6 lumbar pack).
A heartfelt Thank You to Vicky Swyer for her unwavering help and generosity.

What Digital Camera BEST ONLINE RETAILER 3yrs running!
Our unashamed thanks to Peter at PicStop for their generous donation of spare Batteries and Memory Cards for our cameras. Dave contacted them to order some and asked if they could delivery them very quickly; he got in to a conversation as to why and the guys at PicStop thought our endeavour was great and offered to supply them to us for the trip by way of sponsorship! They have also kindly included links from their website to here.
What a great bunch. Thank Guys, very much appreciated.
