Check out the lovely new Summer essentials in the WALX store – designed to make every walk comfortable, enjoyable and fun!
Every walker needs to take a break now and then and that’s why we have teamed up with POCKET PERCH SIT MATS to bring you a range of waterproof cushioned mats that roll up to fit into your backpack and bring out to sit on the dewy grass or that damp bench!
These hand made beauties sit well (excuse the pun) with our eco ethics and come in a range of designs from stylish tartans to stags, highland coos and forest trees.
These are one of those things that you never knew you needed…until you have one – so forget the old folding camping style mats made of plastic and foam and perch yourself anywhere in style from now on! Limited stock so grab yours while you can. Click HERE
Of course if you are out and about and sitting outdoors, you may not be alone! Ticks are now lurking in the undergrowth and make it their purpose to latch on to any warm host and crawl into a safe spot where they can feed. Unpleasant enough but as they also could be infected with Lyme Disease, not something you want to risk. Make sure you cover legs and arms in areas where the risk is high (often where Deer and Bracken are prevalent) and take precautions such as spraying bare skin before you set out with our deet- free TICK REPELLENT and checking yourself after every walk. Some ticks are tiny and look like specks of dirt so invest in a TICK CARD that has magnifier on as well as a range of hooks to help you to remove any that do get through your defences!
Check out the WALX store for a range of first aid, safety and accessories that will help you stay fresh, safe and comfortable.
Hydration is vital when out walking and whether you like your drinks hot of cold, we have plenty of ways to make sure you can carry enough to keep you well hydrated
Our new HOT and COLD flasks are ideal for any walk – neat enough for even the smallest backpack but leakproof and guaranteed to keep your drink warm of cool. Choose from green or purple (of course!)
The WALX waist pack has a special fold away drink carrier ideal for the flask or a small bottle. If you are venturing into areas where you are not so confident about the water quality, the WATER TO GO filtration bottles are a must have as they remove any bacteria.
Finally don’t forget it may not be just you out there covering the miles, your four legged friend needs to stay comfortable too so the new Mountain Paws FOLDING WATER BOTTLE provides a handy drinking vessel too.
Plenty to make your walks comfortable, safe and enjoyable so no excuses…. Step out in style!
