Trash washes in from the ocean, but it also comes from being thrown away, with many people here still burning and discarding their waste. It's an uphill struggle that the Gili Eco Trust have been tackling for years, the progress is evident but theres still plenty to be done.

Trail running is one of the best ways to explore our National Parks, especially Dartmoor. With endless miles of footpaths, bridleways and trails both marked and unmarked, moving swiftly with your feet you can get to some of the countries finest wild places and the best snack spots available! 

Dartmoor is a hive of activity for those who embrace the outdoor lifestyle. From the flowing rivers to the endless trails, it is a place where you can venture far on a sunny day and embrace the elements of the wilderness on another. The landscape that surrounds us acts as a constant reminder of what we live to enjoy, and serve to protect.

Dartmoor is the ONLY place in England where you can legally wild camp, sadly that right is under threat.

It's only through collaboration and working together that we will make a difference

The Jungle series acknowledges that we as outdoor brands are in debt to nature and it's time to pay it back.

Most of all I like that a small crew of passionate people has managed to create a product that excels at everything it does and that the environmental cost of fashion was not an after thought.

We are incredibly proud to become a Certified B Corp. The process is rigorous, it's a process that's taken sweat, tears & years and we could not have done it without the support of our community and the belief that you show in the brand and what we stand for. 

As 2021 is wrapping up, we thought we'd take some time to reflect back on the year and the things we're most proud of and share them with you, the people that made them all happen.

My favourite thing to do in the world is travelling to a new country to check out new rivers and if I'm honest, my biggest source of motivation to train and be ready to go when opportunity knocks. 

After what's felt like an eternity, we held our first in store talk in almost two years. Who better to kick things off that one of our favourite humans, Sal Montgomery.
