A Bit About Us
For every one of us there is a journey to be taken; whether it is on foot, by bike, on the water or along the road. Here at Hit the Trail we have a passion for the natural world and the adventures that it has to offer. We have always spent time exploring the outdoors and over the years we have travelled many miles staying in a variety of different things including our original camper van, Klondike tents, a teardrop caravan, rooftop tents and since the addition of Beryl the Doodle, our new, larger van. We have found that touring around has allowed us to stay in some truly beautiful places and enjoy our time whether it is hiking through the mountains, kayaking on glacial lakes or cycling through open valleys and along wooded trails. ​
​
During our travels, we have found the equipment that works for us, so the range we offer includes many pieces that we have tried and tested whilst on the road. We are always looking at new products that are being brought to the market by our favourite brands and regularly post reviews to give you our thoughts on these.
So whenever you are ready to hit the trail, make sure that you have everything you need. We are a small company with a big passion and would be delighted to help you make your adventure the best it can be.
Eco Awareness
Our awareness of the impact we have on the planet has increased hugely over the years and it is something that we cannot ignore, not as individuals nor as a business. As a business we are not only mindful of the products we sell and the companies that we work with but are conscious of the way we send out items to our customers. As much as possible we reuse and repurpose packing materials that we ourselves have received items in but where we can’t, we have replaced the polystyrene packing pellets we used previously with waste card and paper that we shred ourselves; we have replaced the traditional plastic based packing tape with paper tape and have replaced our plastic mail bags with paper ones.
When we looked at what we could do to lessen our businesses impact, we took it back to the basics and aimed to try to reduce our consumption, reuse what we could and recycle what we couldn’t, because that simple phrase, ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ is a very good starting point for us all. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.
