ONE FOR THE ROAD ADVENTURE TRAVEL ACCESSORIES
Osprey Ultralight Roll Organiser £30
The Roll Organiser keeps any vital items together and easily accessible. It will make a great washbag but is equally handy for cable management or stowing bits of camera gear – the options are endless. The high-tenacity 40 denier nylon build is 100% recycled and bluesign approved, and combines with a hanging clip loop and mirror to produce a simple but effective pack.
Lifeventure TSA Zipper Lock £10
Locking your luggage to prevent tampering and petty theft is a nobrainer, but you don’t want your locks destroyed if the bag needs to be checked by customs. Enter the Travel Sentry Approved (TSA) lock, a three-digit combination lock that can be opened safely by airport staff and features a flexible cable shackle that’ll fit most zippers.
Osprey Packing Cube Set £42
Bring some order to the inside of any backpack or duffel bag without troubling the airport scales. This set of three lightweight packing ‘cubes’ will let you pack far more neatly, optimising space and organising your luggage in the process. The 100% recycled fabric is bluesign® approved 40 denier high-tenacity nylon which is robust and long-lasting.
Lifesystems Solo Traveller First Aid Kit £48 ellis-brigham.com
Ideal for longer trips to exotic or remote locations, the Solo Traveller packs in everything you might need for minor and even more serious injuries, including painkillers, dressings and a full set of sterile medical equipment.
The case is made from durable ripstop fabric with waterproof zips to ensure it’s robust enough to last the distance.
Lifeventure Travel Door Lock £6
The Lifeventure Travel Door Lock is a brilliant security measure that will ensure peace of mind and a good night’s sleep. It turns any internal door into a locked barrier by wedging it closed from the inside. Made from reinforced nylon, the device is lightweight and packable, while its ingenious design makes it simple to install and remove.
Osprey Fairview 70 £185
A good backpack is key to your whole travel experience, and the Fairview is certainly that. It features a women’s-specific fit and adjustable back panel to ensure plenty of comfort, while the detachable 15-litre mini-pack with a sleeve for your laptop or hydration bladder is fantastic for day trips.
Lifesystems Expedition MAX100ml £10
Vital for comfort and well-being in hotter climes (especially malarial ones), this high-strength insect repellent cuts the amount of DEET by 50%, which is better for you and the environment, and adds in Chrysanthemum Cinerariaefolium extract to inhibit bites. Effective for up to 8 hours, it’s safe to use on larger areas of exposed skin and is also water and sweat resistant.
Lifeventure Recycled SoftFibre Trek Towel £22
Made from 8.7 recycled water bottles, the Trek Towel has impressive sustainability credentials and will make a useful addition to any expedition. It is super-absorbent and quick drying, and there’s even a Polygiene treatment to combat odour, while the tropical print definitely helps it stand out from the crowd.
Cotopaxi Kapai Hip Pack £35
Stylish and streamlined, the Kapai 3L hip pack is the perfect size for stashing smaller items while out and about. It features a wider hip belt and a padded, contoured back panel for extra comfort on the trail. A top grab handle, secure zip pockets and a padded sleeve boost the functionality, and since it’s made from 100% repurposed fabrics, the design of each pack is unique.
Cleveland Way
The coastal stretch of the Cleveland Way is one of my absolute favourite walks. It’s best in the morning with the sun over the sea, and from up on the cliff tops you can see lots of nesting birds. This undulating route takes you through some of the East Coast’s prettiest fishing villages, like Robin Hood’s Bay and Sandsend. You can’t beat the sea air and a view out to the horizon.
