The Sunday letter, free, every other Sunday

A slow outdoor newsletter for your Sunday morning

One long read, one small trip you could do this month, and the kit I’d actually buy again. Every other Sunday, free.

Free, every other Sunday. Unsubscribe from any letter in one click. How your email is used.

What’s in each letter

  1. The long read

    A trip report or essay before it goes on the site, with the notes that didn’t make the final cut.

  2. One small trip

    A walk, paddle or overnight you could do this month without taking a week off, with the timings worked out.

  3. Kit that earned its place

    One thing I’ve used for at least a season, what it’s good at, and what annoys me about it.

  4. Conditions and corrections

    Path closures, hut changes and anything readers have told me I got wrong.
