Ellis Brigham’s Adventure Travel Guide Your first adventure travel trip can be a life changer. Breaking the habit of the European package holiday and booking the big trip to Thailand or taking the short four hour flight to Morrocco; holidaying in more exotic destinations can become addictive! Marrakech is maybe the perfect first travel mini break. The moment you arrive you step back in time. The ancient medina is a labyrinth of souks selling everything from Moroccan arts and crafts to ancient Berber cures for all ills! As the sun drops head for the huge square of Djemaa el-Fna where you’ll find hundreds of food stalls, water sellers, acrobats and snake charmers. Outside of the city, take a day trip into the Atlas foothills and visit ancient hill forts and Berber villages. Dressing sensibly in light, easy care clothing and taking a considered approach to your health are essential to enjoying any adventure travel destination and this little guide gives a taster of the great range of travel clothing, equipment and essentials available at Ellis Brigham Mountain Sports. If you’re thinking of planning your first trip, the following pages will set you in the right direction and if you’re an old hand you will see a lot of new ideas and technologies.

Hydration & Travel Health When travelling off the beaten track access to safe drinking water should not be taken for granted. Water supplies may contain bacteria, parasitic cysts and viruses which can lead to stomach upsets, subsequent dehydration and other illness. Carrying water purification treatments such as Lifesystems’ Chlorine Dioxide tablets will help make sure you are protected so that you can stay hydrated without worrying about what’s in your water. When travelling it’s easy to get distracted with so much to see and do, but staying properly hydrated should not be neglected. Make sure you have sufficient fluid with you and that you drink little and often rather than waiting until you feel thirsty, by which time the effects of dehydration will already be setting in.
