Every summer I add something to our camping gear, and take something away. Old camping gear wears out, or was never quite up to the job in the first place. I had a chat with Simply Hike and they asked me if I would try out their online shop during my annual renewal of my Camping equipment.

I consulted with Cath as to what was required – a second large Billy Can, a new water carrier, a batch of very large hiking socks – and went to work on Simply Hike. I whizzed around the site and filled up the virtual shopping basket in no time. The site is well-designed and resolute; the gear videos are useful, the range is extensive enough to even include the extra-large socks that I require, and now all that remains is the true test of any online store: delivery.
