 After a long day of trekking or cycling, you’ve made your camp. The tent is up and the sleeping gear is all laid out, waiting to welcome you to the Land of Nod. There’s just one more thing to do before repose and that is to eat. So break out the cooking gear and knock up a feast to replenish all those burnt calories. But what’s the best cooking system for the intrepid traveller?
This is a test of stoves that you might take with you on a trekking or cycle-touring expedition, when you’ll be carrying everything you need, so pack size and weight is a big factor. It’s also important that a stove is easy to set up and reliable.

Fell running is a challenging, rewarding and fun way to get out there and see nature, and its physical benefits are well worth a mention too.

 There can't be many people who wouldn't relish the chance to escape their busy lives for a couple of weeks and look out over the silent majesty of the Himalayas each night at the end of a satisfying day's trek. The trouble is, finding someone reliable to provide it.
At Oyster we know a thing or two about trekking in Nepal's famous mountain ranges. We have been providing treks to participants on our volunteering projects in Nepal for over 10 years. These treks have been hugely popular – taking small groups through the unparalleled scenery of the Himalayas with expert guides and well-chosen itineraries.

 Coming from abroad, you could be forgiven for thinking that there isn’t much more to England than old buildings, dainty cups of tea and the royal family. With all the hoopla over last year’s royal wedding and this summer’s diamond jubilee it would be easy to overlook everything else that the country has to offer.

Not everyone enjoys lying by the swimming pool on their holidays. Sometimes, in fact, there’s nothing for it but to strap on the hiking boots and get yourself on an adventure in one of the most exciting states in America. Besides what is on offer at one of Disney’s many resorts, Florida offers a plethora of activity and excitement which, quite simply, couldn’t be matched anywhere else in the world.
