Our aim is to create an overview of walking in Europe with information on long distance walking routes within and passing through each and eventually every European country.

As we build we will include information on accommodation for walkers, walking festivals, charity walks, outdoor equipment, outdoor equipment reviews, details of new products, where to buy outdoor gear on our retailers page, guide to maps and books for walkers, walking news and walking holidays.

If you have information on long distance walking routes in your area that you feel would be helpful to our readers please do not hesitate to contact us

Our walking adventures so far have allowed us to revisit sections of the Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast, the GR5, the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela and the Camino de Robert Louis Stephenson from Le Puy en Velay

We offer free listings on our Walking Festivals, Charity Walks and Where to Stay pages, the only obligation is a link back to us


osprey atmos 25 day sack review

First impression of the sack was small but full of the normal features associated with a day sack including walking pole attachment, hydration compatible compartment, feed and strap locater, small zipped hip belt pockets, side pockets, front pocket and top zipped pocket.

All pull cords and fixings are very robust and have positive actions.

We initially used the sack with a hydration reservoir but found that because the hydration compartment stretched the reservoir dropped into the bottom restricting the main compartment. 

Once we had packed our sandwiches and a two layer waterproof there was no more space in the main compartment.

The first outing for the sack was on the 16th February 2012 and the temperature was 8°C and breezy.

Three of us tried the sack and all found it very comfortable to wear. The straps containing EVA foam cushioned the load on the shoulders and the BioStretchTM fabric on the hip belt kept the sack close to the body.

We had thought that the chilly breeze would aim straight for our backs as the construction of the frame allows for ventilation of the space between rucksack and back with their AirSpeedTM mesh backpanel but that was not the case. The sack actually acted as a wind break and kept our backs warm without sweat.

We've made a note to review this again in warmer weather.

Conclusion

Very comfortable to wear. Need to think carefully what to take on a day walk in order to fit it all in effectively. We like it so far...
