LFTO Newsletter: Come on in and catch up!
The Latest from LFTO
Hello! Its only May, but the weather is telling us that summer is well and truly here. LFTOers have been sharing their sun-blushed adventures on classic UK mountain routes, so make sure you check out the forum and user photo pages for inspiration.
Our gear reviews also have a hot-weather theme this fortnight we've been checking out summer sleeping bags, tarps and a new rucksack with a built in hydration system.
Finally, Trail and Country Walking have also been making the most of the sunshine, jetting off to research features in exotic locations such as the Costa Blanca, Fort William and er Yorkshire. This week, though, we're off for an adventure in a place where the sun never shines. Intrigued? All will be revealed in a forthcoming issue of Trail, so keep your eyes pealed?
