Not willing to compromise when it comes to cooking at camp? Then the Summit Skillet is what you need.

This nonstick skillet packs the performance and punch of home cookware into a compact, lightweight, elegant, solution designed for the campsite. The ceramic-coated nonstick aluminum construction heats quickly and evenly, expanding the potential of outdoor cooking. Coated with a ceramic nonstick surface, the skillet releases eggs, pancakes, and other foods easily, making cleanup a breeze. A perfectly angled turner nests into the handle, helping you flip foods without fuss.

We’ve tested it and think it’s great! If a fresh bacon butty is a must on the hill, this will certainly do the trick.

Find it in our ‘New In’ section.

Stargazing Season is here ✨🔭 And as outdoor lovers, we know looking up at the night sky is one of the best bits about being out in the dark. If you're new to stargazing, there are a few simple things to get you going 👇

⛺️ Get remote! Getting away from towns and city light pollution will get you off to a great start.
🗺️ If going remote, make sure you can navigate well in dark conditions!!
👀 It will take some time for your eyes to truly adapt after you turn your headlamp off, so don't give up too quickly!
🪐 Download a stargazing app - there are numerous great options. Do this before you head out! It will show you what to look out for.
🌚 A clear sky and new moon are optimal conditions, but a little moonlight shouldn't put you off either!
🥰 Keep yourself warm and comfy - hot drinks, warm clothing and a toasty sleeping bag will help. Lying down is ideal, so a warm mat and bivvy is a great setup for stargazing.
⭐️ Don't put of doing it!! Yes, it can be cold and you might want to just hunker down in your tent or stay at home, but make the decision to do it and stick to it!

We'd love to hear your top tips for stargazing, either as part of a camping trip or just an evening out 👇

Let's talk lumens 🔆

Lumens are the measure of light emitted from a light source. Lumens will guide how bright a head torch might be, but the beam pattern will also have a significant impact on its effectiveness for different activities. So, how many do you need for your adventure? It's not always so straight forward, and depending on what you're doing (i.e. trail running with navigation and an evening camp) you will want a head torch that covers a larger range of lumen outputs. We've summarised the basic lumen count required for different activities ↓
