Get the Right Equipment to Enjoy Your Hiking Holiday

2011-12-09T05:47:00.000-08:00

If you’ve booked a country cottage for the break over Christmas and New Year, it’s likely that you’ll have picked an idyllic location and be planning to do some hiking and walking while you’re there.

Sunny winter days can make for perfect hiking conditions – and often holiday cottages are located within easy access of different trails and paths. If you’ve chosen somewhere mountainous, you could do some of the lower slopes safely - as long as you’re well-prepared. Being prepared means telling people where you’re headed, what route you’re taking and how long you intend being out. This way, if you get into any difficulty or get lost, then at least people will know when to start looking for you, and when.

You should also take plenty of water to keep you hydrated and some hi-energy food and snacks to give your body extra fuel en route. Supplies like this will be a godsend if you do get stranded.

Of course, the other thing to do is dress for the occasion. Make sure you wear base layers that will provide you with warmth for your body core – thermals and snug fitting garments that allow your skin to breathe are ideal. You’ll also need middle layers to provide insulation and warmth, and in winter it’s a good idea to have two middle layer garments, so you can peel one off if you get too hot as you’re walking along. On the top, wear a shell layer as protection from the wind and rain should the weather change while you’re out. North Face jackets are ideal for hiking and walking, as they allow you freedom of movement, offer protection from the elements and allow body heat to escape, too.

Depending on the kind of terrain you’re going to cover, you might also look at buying some crampons. These are devices to provide traction for walking on snow and ice. They can attach to your footwear in three ways – step-in, hybrid and strap bindings.

Don’t forget other essentials like gloves and a hat, and you’ll be all set to go and explore!

Choose Your Hiking Gear with Care

2011-11-21T09:33:00.000-08:00

When you’re going out hiking or jogging in the winter, it’s really important to make sure you have the right gear. One of the biggest risks for hikers is that they might leave themselves open to suffering from exposure in extreme weather.

Probably the most important thing to remember is that you’ll need to wear a number of layers. The science behind wearing layers is simple. The base layer keeps your skin dry, so makes you comfortable. The mid layer is sometimes called the insulating layer, and does just that. It keeps you warm. Finally, the shell layer - or outer layer, protects you from the wind and rain.

It’s important to adapt the layers you wear to the exercise you are doing. For example, if you’re jogging and the weather is dry, then it’s usually not necessary to wear a shell layer. As you build up a sweat, the shell layer would only serve to trap the moisture and you won’t be able to feel dry. Instead, you can adjust the warm layers so that you remain warm enough.

During the winter, you might want to ensure that your layers include thermals, as they help to provide insulation while allowing any moisture to escape. It’s important to make sure that your muscles are kept warm enough when you’re exercising.

If you’re hiking in a remote place, there are also some safety rules to bear in mind. Make sure that you tell someone where you’re going and the route you’ve planned, so that if you do get lost, people will know where and when to look for you. Check the weather forecast before you set out, and don’t head out unless weather conditions are good. In any case, make sure that you have emergency supplies of high energy snacks and drinks with you, just in case you get stranded for any length of time.

Cheapest iPhone 4S 64GB Deals from Three

2011-10-13T09:43:00.000-07:00

Whilst they decided to call it the iPhone 4S rather than the iPhone 5S, Apple's new phone is still a major upgrade, and you can get some great deals on the iPhone 4S 64GB in white from Three. There's a new dual-core A5 chip, offering superfast performance and excellent mobile gaming, a new 8MP camera which has a new lens and image processing features, a new digital assistant called Siri which embraces voice commands for phone functionality and lets you dictate stuff into the phone. If the voice recognition works well, dictation will be a major productivity boost for busy individuals, as you can talk so much faster than you can type (especially on a fiddly smartphone keyboard).

You may be asking yourself "Which iPhone 4S should I get?". If you are a power user that is going to shoot a lot of HD video, then you quickly use up storage space, so the 64GB iPhone 4S in white from Three will be a sensible choice. If you go for the 64GB model, you'll also have plenty of space for your music and photos, and the photos are going to take up more room now that the iPhone has an 8MP camera.

When looking for a cheap iPhone 4S 64GB deal from Three, then two deals get our attention. The deal offering the cheapest monthly payment, at £30 a month, is the Text 300 deal. After paying an initial £309 for the 64GB handset, the contract then offers 300 cross network minutes, 5000 texts and 500MB of internet. If you need unlimited monthly data because you use mobile internet a lot, you'll want to take a look at the iPhone 4S on the One Plan. There are two versions of the One Plan. The one offering the cheapest monthly cost of £35 a month has a £279 handset cost and then gives you 2000 minutes, 5000 texts and that all-important unlimited internet.

Check out this deal from Three and enjoy the latest and greatest Apple iPhone.

Mary Portas for House of Fraser

Queen of Retail Mary Portas has started a new clothing concession at House of Fraser. You can follow her progress by watching Channel 4's Mary Queen of Frocks series.

Pictured below is what Mary feels is the best dress in her collection, which she calls the No-Brainer dress, we guess because she feels it's so versatile it doesn't take much thinking to create a great outfit from it.

If you are looking to get mobile broadband for your laptop when you are on your travels, then O2 mobile broadband has PAYG or contracts on offer.

Future mobile broadband standards may bring a time when mobile broadband can compete with home broadband performance, but for now we'd say if you like to download a lot each month and need rock solid video streaming performance, then you'll still need to keep your home broadband. However, mobile broadband is great for light browsing and checking e-mails on the go, and tends to work best in built-up areas where a 3G signal is available.

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz on Top Gear

2010-07-26T05:30:00.000-07:00

Top Gear had two of the the world's biggest film stars competing in their "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" feature last night, none other than Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. Both stars proved themselves to be excellent drivers and recorded the top two times in the series so far. This might be expected of Mr Cruise, who is a well known petrolhead and has a passion for cars and motorbikes. He he even has a cutting edge Italian motorbike that was built to fit him like a suit, matching his height, weight and riding style. However, viewers might have been more surprised by the performance of Miss Diaz, whose daily driver is a Toyota Prius, which sits well with her interest in protecting the environment. However, judging by her performance on the programme, where she raced around the track on tight racing lines, Miss Diaz must have some experience in driving in a less planet-friendly style. She was even performing doughnuts for Jeremy Clarkson. In the end though it was Tom who set the better laptime, and you could tell he was really going for it, as he bounced over the kerb on the last corner and nearly rolled the car. He managed to beat Miss Diaz by a full second, recording a laptime of 1:44.2 compared to her 1:45.2.

Cruise and Diaz were in the UK to promote their new film Knight and Day.

Broadband Speed Tips from Be Broadband

2010-07-23T13:50:00.000-07:00

Fast broadband specialists BE Broadband, the UK's first provider of ADSL2+, has created a series of how-to guides under the title "Matt's House", based on feedback from its customers to explain how to improve the speed of any UK broadband connection. The guides cover 3 key areas that can be tweaked without technical expertise to improve broadband speeds within a home or business: router setup, internal home wiring and use of the master socket.

Many home broadband providers advertise high speeds which are then slowed down by traffic shaping and throttling. BE is the only UK broadband provider to have consistently offered unlimited downloads and does not shape or throttle its customers broadband usage.

Inspiration for the guides came from BE’s Forum Manager Matt, who also stars in the video editions. Based on customer queries in the provider's online support forum, he asked for more interesting way to show members how simple tweaks can dramatically improve the speed of a broadband connection.

View the BE how-to guides now or checkout the home broadband marketplace.
