Bring it on! ‘Time flies by in the yellow and green Stick around and you’ll see what I mean There’s a mountaintop that I’m dreaming of If you need me you know where I’ll be.’ I’VE BEEN THINKING about that lyric a lot lately. It’s from Shotgun by George Ezra, who thanks to his marvellous movie End to End is well on his way to becoming Britain’s new favourite walker (a sentiment I can only echo, after interviewing him for Country Walking last issue – he really is that sweet). George specialises in upbeat songs that put summer in a bottle (see also Green Green Grass), and they’ve barely left my playlist while we worked on this Guide. So if you’ve ever wanted to seek out the yellow and green, or dreamt of a mountain, this Guide is for you: a sun-soaked hayride through this season’s summer gear, from shirts that cool your skin to rucksacks with hydration systems wired in; from a waterproof hijab to shoes that want to help save the planet. Whatever mountaintops you’re dreaming of this summer, this is the kit that’ll bring them closer. Dreams are great. Reality can be even better. NICK HALLISSEY Deputy Editor, Country Walking Contents 05 SHIRTS & TEES Explorer-style button shirt or fast-wicking baselayer? The choice is yours. 09 TROUSERS & SHORTS Keep those hard-working legs cool and comfy when the mercury’s rising. 13 RUCKSACKS From compact daypacks to big beasts for the Coast to Coast and Pennine Way. 17 SUMMER ESSENTIALS From poles to pants: all the little extras that make summer adventures truly memorable. 21 FOOTWEAR Everything from super-light sandals for the beach to boots for high-peak trekking. 25 SUMMER SOCKS Keep your feet happy on every walk, whether it’s a stroll in the park or a 10-day trek. 28 WATERPROOFS Unbelievably, it can still rain in July. But choose from these and that isn’t a problem. Plus: MASTERCLASSES A close look at what makes the best outdoor kit work so darn beautifully. SUMMER GEAR GUIDE 2023 3
