CollaborationWashing any clothing you want to wear more than once whilst youre away from home is a pain and usually relies on hand washing or expensive hotel laundry services. Heading off for a 16 day road trip to Scotland and not wanting to pack 16 sets of underwear, the Scrubba provided the perfect solution. Read on for our full reviewWhat is it?Scrubba Wash Bag 42StockistsThescrubba.onlineAmazon.co.ukScrubba Mini Wash Bag Ultra-Compact Laundry BagScrubba Wash Bag Portable Washing MachineScrubba Washing Bag Kit 2.0 Portable Clothes Washer SystemScrubba Wash Bag Portable Washing MachineInitially I was curious to understand how Scrubba differed from a dry bag, because lets face it, at first look, it does look similar to a drybag. After a quick look at the packaging and turning the bag inside out, it becomes more obvious how the Scrubba differs theres a built in wash board! This means you can agitate the fibres in your clothing far better than if you were just hand washing clothes in a sink.It folds up really small, making it perfect to take away with us. With 5 different beds to sleep in, lots of sea swimming and definitely not wanting to take 16 sets of underwear each, we had the perfect opportunity to put the Scrubba washing bag to the test.Using the bag is easy and intuitive and there are guide lines printed on the bag which show how much water to put in, depending on how many items of clothing you need to wash. Theres another guide which shows how to roll the top of the bag closed prior to use. Once filled with water and your chosen detergent, theres a handy little air release valve which gently removes any excess air trapped inside the bag, and once done, youre ready to get scrubbing.A top tip from me, is to use laundry detergent sheets (we use Dr. Beckmann Magic Leaves) they take up next to no space or weight when youre traveling and did a brilliant job for us popped inside the Scrubba with hot water.It might sound a bit weird to say, but I actually found the process of using the Scrubba highly theraputic. Perhaps it was in part down to the location I was using the washing bag in. The Isle of Mull has rapidly become my happy place, its where I return to when I need to reset my nervous system and feed my soul, and a huge covered veranda with stunning views and not another soul for miles provided the perfect location Ive never been happier to wash clothing by hand, so much so I offered to do my husbands too.As well as using the Scrubba to ensure we had clean underwear throughout our road trip, it was also super useful for cleaning our swimwear after swimming in the sea, and after a food spill on a t-shirt, the Scrubba did the job again.Final thoughtsThe scrubba claims to be a portable, power-free washing machine, and it is! Its blooming brilliant and extremely useful. Whilst weve only used it so far on a UK road trip, there have been countless times on beach holidays overseas when this would have been so useful and whenever I travel, you can bet Ill be packing the Scrubba washing bag.Scrubba Mini Wash Bag Ultra-Compact Laundry BagScrubba Wash Bag Portable Washing MachineScrubba Washing Bag Kit 2.0 Portable Clothes Washer SystemScrubba Wash Bag Portable Washing MachineWhere to next?CAMPING | The Travellers Pantry Your Camping & Glamping Essentials In One Convenient BoxTRAVEL GEAR | Why You Need Birkenstock EVA Fluro Beach Sandals In Your LifeTRAVEL | What To Pack For An Active Beach Holiday Essential Tropical Packing ListShop related products Vango Orion 200 2 Man Tent Trekking [Amazon Exclusive] , 5000mm HH, Tunnel with ... 4.5 out of 5 stars(228) 109.59 (as of September 28, 2024 21:40 GMT +01:00 - More infoProduct prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change.

CollaborationAfter 11 days on the road, we traveled from the west coast of Scotland over to the east coast for a 4-night stay in a luxury hot tub lodge beside the sea at Sauchope Links holiday park in Fife. The perfect way to end our 2024 Scottish road trip in style! Read on for more detailsWhere we stayedRetreat Lodge Plus, 1 bedroom hot tub lodgeSauchope Links Holiday ParkFifeScotlandUnited KingdomKY10 3XJWith everything from touring pitches to luxury lodges, Sauchope Links occupies a stunning coastal position, offering fast access to beaches, coastal walks and the lovely fishing village of Crail. Whether camping, glamping or staying in a lodge, youll enjoy the most spectacular views of May Island and the Firth of Forth, with the sound of waves and fresh sea air a constant companion.Frequent visitors to Scotland, this was our first time visiting the east coast and Fife in particular, so we were just as keen to spend our final few days relaxing as we were to see what this area had to offer.On arriving at the park, first impressions were good, with a friendly and efficient check in experience. Our lodge was located at the far end of the park which is around 1km in length, with a car parking space at the front. @campingwithstyle Discover the perfect hot tub lodge with wood burner, sea views and direct beach access Check out Sauchope Links @Largo Leisure Holidays in Fife #travel #holidaylodge #couplesretreat #familyholiday #holidaypark #scotland #seaside #tour #guide #fyp Waves (Cover) YorBeatz The 1 bedroom lodges are light, clean and airy and look just like the photos on the website, but the views are the real show stopper. The lodge has large sliding doors to the living area and even bedroom windows placed strategically to provide uninterupted views of the sea.We always appreciate feeling a connection to the space that were in and the sound of the waves and the fresh sea air was a constant, welcome companion with views that made it difficult to pull ourselves away from the seating on our huge private deck.Of course, with this being a hot tub lodge, we made good use of it, sometimes twice a day and its location meant that even from the hot tub, we could enjoy the same fabulous sea views. The water maintained a good temperature throughout our stay and the powerful jets combined to provide maximum relaxation add in a bottle of Prosecco and we were happily in holiday heaven in no time.Once we left the hot tub to prepare dinner, we found a well equipped kitchen with everything we needed to self cater. We stopped off at the wonderful Gloagburn Farm Shop on our way across the country, but there is a small Spar and also a grocers within walking distance in Crail, and a little futher in Anstruther, theres a large Co-op for anything you might need. Outdoor swimming poolOther accommodationOn site, youll find a wee shop stocked with some essentials (including extra kindling and logs for the wood burner), a kids play park and even an outdoor heated swimming pool! Visiting during the second week of September meant the site was quiet and each time I used the pool I had it to myself a real bonus as despite being right on the coast, the rocks mean its not an ideal spot for sea swimming.Out and AboutSpeaking of swimming, for those that want to swim or just spend a day at the beach, theres a beach in Crail and plenty a little further up the coast to choose from too. Of course I cant talk about this area, just 10 miles from St. Andrews without mentioning golf and whilst that doesnt float our own personal boat, the area is a mecca for golfers.Anstruther harbourEnjoying a coffee from CoastWe didnt make it into St. Andrews (you can catch the bus if you fancy a break from driving), but we did explore Crail on foot and visited lovely Anstruther twice, once for fish and chips and once for ice cream it wouldnt be a proper UK holiday without indulging in either really would it?Breakfast in AnstrutherIce cream from Scoop, AnstrutherThe Wee Chippy does decent fish and chips, Scoop does fabulous ice creams and we can also recommend grabbing a coffee and cake from Coast. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in Anstruther, a beach and the Scottish Fisheries Museum. If you fancy a boat trip to nearby Isle of May nature reserve, you can board a cruise from the Harbour here too (check out Anstruther Pleasure Cruises).The Final SaySauchope Links holiday park is a wonderful little park with a variety of accommodatoin to suit all needs and budgets. The outdoor pool is a real bonus and being able to hear the sea, walk on the beach and enjoy the incredible views felt like a real treat, whilst the log burner and the hot tub, were the icing on the cake.I wouldnt hesitate to return and absolutely loved our time there and in Fife in general, which is a truly lovely part of Scotland.Our Stay4-nights, Monday to Friday staying in a Retreat Lodge Plus 1 bedroom Hot Tub. Prices start at 621 for a similar 4-night mid week lodge stay in September 2025.DISCLOSURE | Thank you to Largo Leisure who invited us to stay.

CollaborationIts no secret that I have a shoe addiction and there is always room in my life for more. Whilst initially seduced by the colour and on-trend styling of these Sorel fisherman sandals, I fell madly in love once I put them on! Read on for my full review.What are they?Sorel Womens ONA Streetworks Fisherman Mid Flat Sandal 120FeaturesHigh-traction rubber engineered for our most exceptional grip on multi-terrain surfaces. EVA foam footbed. Moulded Feathergrip rubber with PU midsole. Full grain leather forefoot with TPU ankle strap.Available in yellow (shown), white and black.I lament the many years of my life that I spent wearing stupidly uncomfortable shoes in the name of vanity and fashion, but thankfully, I no longer have any tolerance for things that make me even vaguely uncomfortable.Im a comfort all the way girlie (as youll know from my somewhat extra camping set-ups), and I love all things colourful, making these sandals a potential match made in heaven. That said, I really wasnt initially sure just how comfortable these sandals would be. They reminded me a little bit of the jelly shoes I wore as a kid, which I remember making squeaky noises, making my feet sweaty and occasionally rubbing. Thankfully, I neednt have worried.After being thoroughly seduced by their fisherman style, chunky sole and heel and the cheery bright yellow colour, I put them on and paraded around the house making lots of happy noises, confirming that they fit perfectly (Im a UK 6 and found that the 6 fits wonderfully) and that they have a cushioned footbed.Emboldened I headed out the front door and went for a mile-long walk in them for an initial comfort test before trusting them to take me through a full day out on my feet.I discovered that they were as comfortable when I first put them on as they were after wearing them to walk out and about it and realised that yes, these were sandals I could happily wear all day long.Straight out of the box, I must say, the do feel like quite a heavy sandal, so if you like really light sandals you may want to look elsewhere. I love chunky footwear though, and during use, they dont feel at all heavy to wear.I have a regular width to slightly narrow foot, and these fit me well, so Id also advise caution if you have wide feet as these sandals probably wont fit so well for you.What I love mostThe colour and the on-trend fisherman styleSuperb cushioningThe straps dont cling or make your feet sweatyThe chunky high-traction rubber sole which gives great grip and stabilityBeing able to wear them all day long in comfortMy only real gripe is that in the US, these sandals were available in a most beautiful bright pink colour which Id have loved to have the option of here in the UK, particularly seeing as half of my wardrobe is pink.If you love chunky sandals and want something that is versatile enough to dress up or down, thats also super comfortable, you wont be disappointed with the Sorel Ona Streetworks Fisherman Sandals!DISCLOSURE | We were gifted the featured product.

Heres a lovely little beginner-friendly nature mindfulness exercise thats ideal to do on a sunny day. Youll need to allow about 10 minutes, or longer if possible, but this can easily be fitted into a lunch break or after work. This is the perfect mindfulness exercise to do whilst camping, but you can head to any green space like a park or garden and a warm sunny day is best. Find a spot that calls to you, lie on your back and get comfy. TIP: If youre worried about drifting off or only have a limited amount of time, set an alarm on your phone before you begin.1. Bring awareness to your breath Start with 3 deep breaths and long exhales, before returning to a natural breathing pattern. Begin by paying attention to the thoughts that drift into your head or whatever it is that your inner voice is saying. 2. Notice your thoughtsIf youre in a public place, do you feel at all self-conscious? Perhaps you feel a sense of calm or happiness? You might even feel a little silly or self-indulgent. It could be that you feel right at home and immediately settle in. All thoughts are valid, though some will be gentler and more positive than others.If you feel any negative judgements surface, observe and allow them to float off. They have no place in this moment. 3. Settle and relax your bodyMove your arms and legs, relax your shoulders and really feel into the ground and settle in. Release any tension you can feel in your muscles.Remember doing this as a young child, with no cares in the world? No worries about what others might think. With no guilt about what else you could be doing with your time. With no anxiety about any tasks awaiting you in the future; Just doing it for the sheer in-the-moment-joy of it. Fill yourself with that carefree feeling as you begin to slow down and tune into your senses.4. Tune in your sensesBecome aware of and focus on the warmth of the sun, the sensation of the breeze on your skin, the way the grass feels on any areas of your bare skin, and any sounds you can hear, paying particular attention to the natural sounds. Can you hear birds? Do you hear the leaves of the tree above you whispering? Let your senses dictate what you pay attention to and remind yourself to soften your brow, relax your jaw and allow any physical tension to melt away as you choose what to tune your senses into. 5. Relax and enjoyEnjoy this little gift of time youve given yourself. Time without your phone in your hand. Time spent anchored in the here and now, which can be such a rare thing in our ever-busy and increasingly stressful lives.How did you find the exercise?Its normal to feel a little woozy or even sleepy after an exercise like this, particularly if you were able to fully embrace the meditation.Did you find you were able to sink into the meditation quickly? Did you find your mind continually full of distracting thoughts? Did your concentration keep on drifting? Were you able to fully enjoy the time? Did you wish you could have done it for longer?Dont feel disheartened if this didnt click for you or if you struggled to focus your senses. As with any skill, the more frequently you practice mindfulness, the easier it will become.

Seductively cute retro looks and gorgeous colours, make this little cool box an irresistible choice, but how well does it actually work? Read on to find out how long it kept food and drinks cold for in our latest field test.What is it?Polarbox Retro Cool Box 20 Litre RRP: 39.99 Overall Rating (4 / 5) Features Adjustable leather strap Lid that flips over to create a tray or tabletop Keep food and drinks cool for up to 24 hours Lightweight and portable cooler that fits up to 20L Retro stylish design that wipes clean Polarbox 20Litre Cooler Yellow PopPolarbox 20Litre Cooler LilacPolarbox 20Litre Cooler BluePolarbox 20Litre Cooler Turquoise When it comes to cool boxes, I know my stuff and Im a demanding customer. From Coleman to Igloo, Outwell to Vango, Ive owned plenty of cool boxes over my camping lifetime.I always take fresh ingredients camping with me which includes plenty of fish, veggies and salad, and of course, loads of drinks and bottles of Prosecco which I refuse to drink if they arent ice cold!I used to regularly attend camping-based events that meant I needed a full 5 days of ice retention from my cool box and found without fail, Coleman coolboxes consistently delivered (when packed and prepped carefully), with my Igloo coming in a close second (despite their generally higher price point) and Vango and Outwell performing neck and neck after that.I have enjoyed many years of use from various cool boxes, which generally need retiring after 6-8 years of heavy use, and I currently have a large Igloo Maxcold 58L wheeled cool box, and a smaller Vango Pinnacle 30L wheeled cool box.For overnight trips however, or short solo camping breaks, a larger cooler is overkill, not least because to remain effective, as much internal space as possible should be used, so using a larger cool box thats only half full, automatically means a reduction in effectiveness.Ideally then, I needed a smaller cool box of around 15-20 Litres, suitable for a couple of bottles of wine, bottled water and a couple of meals worth of food.Having seen the retro cool boxes from Polarbox, it was a done deal that this would be my choice regardless of cooling power this was definitely a purchase decision based primarily on form!When mine arrived, I was initially alarmed (but not surprised) at just how light these are, leading me to conclude there are no obvious signs of intelligent insulation materials being used between the plastic walls.Remember those rectangular cool boxes that were cheap as chips that our parents would take along on family days out to the beach in the 80s? The feel of it reminded me of those and having started my camping life using that style, I know they are barely capable of keeping the contents cold for 12 hours, let alone the couple of days life I was hoping to get from this.Needless to say, I didnt hold out much hope. I took it along with me to a weekend retreat at the end of July, in warm and muggy weather rather than blazing heat. I packed it as full as possible, using ice blocks, frozen bottles of water and food to cook that Id frozen in advance too.PerformanceFirstly, Im well aware that the official blurb says it will keep food cool for up to 24 hours, so I wasnt expecting much, and yet packing this for a solo weekend camping trip, I was still hopeful.The picture below shows you how I packed my Polarbox at 9am on a Friday morning before setting off on a 2-hour drive to my home for the weekend.I kept the Polarbox inside my tent out of direct sunlight (honestly, there wasnt very much of it anyway) and all the ice was melted by on Saturday.Everything I placed inside the box was either chilled or frozen to begin with, including 3 small bottles of frozen water. On Sunday morning at 9:00am, I was delighted to find that my final remaining bottle of water still had a tiny chunk of ice inside it!I was surprised as I had wholly expected to be drinking warm water by Sunday, but it really did give me a solid 48 hours of performance, which was far better than expected.Leather strap on the PolarboxI should add, that I was careful not to keep opening and closing the lid and I also moved it to the coolest possible place during the day so it avoided any direct sunlight. VerdictThis cute little cool box holds merit for overnight camping trips and 2 night trips at a stretch. Expect a very solid 24 hours of cold from this which can be extended to another 24 hours with careful packing and freezing before you fill the cool box.Its super easy to clean and looks adorable, though Its important to point out that due to the inclusion of a leather strap, this is not a vegan-friendly product. Investing just a little more will provide you with prolonged performance so if you need a solid 48 hours plus, you might want to consider the Igloo Tag Along Too Cooler. Those with more cash to splash might want to look at the Yeti Roadie 24 Cool Box as the best compact alternative.The Polarbox Retro 20L Cooler is a great choice for day trips, and its also perfect if youre taking food and drinks to someone elses house for a summer barbecue, garden party or if youre off on a 1-2 night camping trip.Our overall rating of (4 / 5) is pretty decent though, particularly if you can find this on offer for below RRP.

For the last couple of months, Ive been testing a selection of womens Columbia hiking gear including a stunning pair of hiking boots. Read on to find out why nothing received less than a 4-star ratingIm a huge fan of Columbia, in particular for the sizing of their womens outdoor gear. As a big girl packing a whole lotta junk in her trunk and currently wearing a UK 16-18, finding outdoor gear that fits can be a real challenge.Ive been wearing Columbia for at least 25 years now, starting when I purchased a technical snowboarding jacket from them. Whilst its not a brand I see massive numbers of folks in the UK wearing, they are huge in the US and Canada, and their gear is excellent.Heres what I tried out;Columbia Womens Peakfreak Hera Mid OutDry Hiking Boot 75 125Columbia Womens Sun Trek Hoodie 31.50 45 Womens Leslie Falls Trousers 42 70 Peakfrek Hera Mid OutDry Hiking BootsThese boots provide the comfort of trainers and are, without doubt, the lightest hiking boots Ive ever worn. By contrast, I have an old pair of Soloman hiking boots that are so heavy and rigid, that just putting them on zaps me of energy. These are the opposite, putting a spring in your step.They provide great support and are ideal for when you want to feel light on your feet, but still want the reassurance of being able to take on tougher summer hill trail terrain.Ive rated these hiking boots 4.5 star and the only reason these boots dont get the full 5 star rating is that the white and very light pink colour, despite looking really beautiful with its ombre effect, isnt massively practical for serious hiking in wet (muddy) conditions.There are however other colourways available which may make a more practical choice, overall though, these are an excellent pair of hiking boots for soft spring and summer hikes and more serious autumn hill walks.Overall Rating (4.5 / 5) Columbia Womens Peakfreak Hera Mid OutDry Hiking Boot 75 125Sun Trek HoodieA lovely lightweight hoodie thats perfect for the crossover season of later summer and early spring, its also got UPF 50 sun protection built into it perfect for breezy coastal walks or any time the sun is out, but theres a chill in the air.Ive found that this is a top Ill often reach for whilst camping, particularly at the end of the day to wear beside the campfire and on cloudy but warm days, it was ideal too, providing a little bit of warmth and cover, without making me overheat or feel too hot.This is a hoodie that packs down super small, making it ideal for weekends away, camping trips and holidays. The only thing that would make this top better would be the inclusion of pockets, a big kangaroo pouch across the front would be ideal.Worn so far only during the summer on cooler cloudy days, Ive found this surprisingly warm, so Id recommend this for autumn wear, or worn as a mid-layer in colder weather.I love the cut at the bottom which is low enough to sit below my tummy and to cover the top of my bum, which means when Im bending down, the hoodie isnt so short that it exposes skin.Its quite long in the arms, which I like, and I love the way the hood drapes. The only thing Id say is that at a size L, it fitted fine, but I generally prefer a looser fit, so in hindsight, the XL would have fitted my current size 16-18 body more to my liking.Overall Rating (4 / 5) Columbia Womens Sun Trek Hoodie 31.50 45Leslie Falls TrousersDespite being on the upper end of straight sizing, a 16 or XL isnt always designed to accommodate a big tummy or bum, or in the case of tops, large boobs. Last year I needed some new hiking pants and prefer a relaxed fit and shorter length that gathers at the bottom to sit above my hiking boots.I chose the Columbia Firwood hiking pants and liked them so much, I immediately purchased a second pair, so I had high hopes for the Leslie Falls trousers.I love the pull-on style of these trousers, theres no zips to faff with and a wide elasticated waist provides jogging-pants like comfort, along with practical deep pockets.One of the features I most like about these trousers is the ability to cinch in the bottom of the legs in, which adds to the relaxed joggers feel of them. They are relatively thin, so Ive found them ideal for summer hikes, though they are roomy enough for me to add a pair leggings or thermals underneath for winter hikes too.Although they arent waterproof, having worn them on walks when the weather has turned and begun to rain, they dry extremely quickly so I find them super practical particularly as I hate wearing thicker trousers in the heat of summer. As someone who generally runs warm when they are walking and has the added bonus of hot flushes to contend with, thinner hiking trousers are a preference regardless of the season.Im all for comfort these days and am so over wearing clothes that are slim-fitting, restrictive or impractical, and I find the Womens Leslie Falls Trousers to be extremely versatile and comfy, providing unrestricted movement and maximum comfort.Overall Rating (5 / 5)Womens Leslie Falls Trousers 42 70 Where to next?GEAR | The Columbia Helvetia Half Snap Fleece Is Like Wearing A Hug ReviewGEAR | The Boot Thats Got It All.
