After four amazing seasons, the Golden Trail World Series returns in 2022 with new ambitions. They include supporting athletes in their quest to become professionals and above all making trail running a must-see, televisual event.

The trail "world cup"

Trail running has experienced a spectacular rise in popularity over the last fifteen years. So spectacular that the sport has witnessed the development of many private circuits across the world. Between the short and the ultra distances, the national and the private circuits, it was tricky to know what was what for a while. "Nobody understood who was doing what exactly, and more importantly, the athletes' level of performance became diluted across all the different circuits, which prevented those at the top from competing against each other" explains Grégory Vollet. And it was precisely to offset this problem that he came up with the idea of launching the Golden Trail World #goldentrailworldseries #outdoors #trailrunning ...

A packable down jacket is one of the most practical items for any cold weather travel.

Kathmandu is well known for making durable outdoor gear and this premium down filled jacket is no exception.

This jacket is a top pick because of how versatile it is - it features a 100 per cent Ripstop Polyester outer, ethically-sourced 600 fill power duck down, while the DWR-finished shell wicks water off so you can wear it in light rain or snow, without having to worry about it getting soggy. All the while being light as a feather (pun intended!)

Don’t be fooled by its ultra-light design though, this jacket will certainly keep you warm. When it comes to down material, it also has a more durable design and it holds up better than most in light amounts of precipitation. Of course, for seriously colder temps or high altitudes, you should look for something warmer. But for most backpacking environments, this has got you covered.

Vibram No Show Toe #Socks (2Pack)

Arch compressionFlexible toesMidweight

The #Vibram No Show Toe Socks (2Pack) Coolmax blend toe socks are a stretch fit designed to fit like a glove for your feet. This fit will add approximately 1mm to your feet dimensions which rarely affects the size of shoe you choose. They can also be worn with a conventional trainer. Their benefits along with the obvious need for the toe socks for Vibram Fivefingers shoes are that they wick moisture more effectively from between the toes. This is great for general foot health and has also been known to help clear up or prevent athletes’ foot and also for anti-blistering between the toes.

Mountain Sports retailer Ellis Brigham has launched a staff wellbeing platform, Togetherall, which coincides with Mental Health Awareness Week May 9-15.

The platform is aimed at supporting employees who might be struggling with personal mental health issues. Having been in the mountain sports industry for almost 90 years, Ellis Brigham felt it was the right time to support those who maybe feel they have their own personal mountains to climb.

Rob Brigham, Managing Director, said: “We all experience those off days, low morale, anxiety or feelings of worry, being overwhelmed or stressed. It can be hard to share or talk about these feelings for fear of being judged, which is why #Togetherall is a completely anonymous platform.”

It is estimated that one in four people suffer mental health problems, made worse by the recent COVID pandemic and current world issues. Ellis Brigham hope Togetherall will provide the #ellisbrigham #mentalhealthawarenessweek #staffwellbeingplatform ...
