How is the ASICS Lite-Show long sleeved T?

How is the ASICS Lite-Show long sleeved T?
Clothing / Sport August 24, 2019 May 9, 2020 Leave a comment

Pre-review disclosure. I am an ASICS running influencer in India (where I live) and as such get to try out and wear their products. BUT – and this really is very important – ASICS has never once even so much as suggested I review their products. Not once. I am …

How good are La Sportiva G2 SM climbing boots?

How good are La Sportiva G2 SM climbing boots?
Clothing / Sport June 20, 2018 June 20, 2018 Leave a comment

Although I have climbed a few mountains, I still feel a tad wary of describing myself as a “mountaineer”.  So this review of my new La Sportiva G2 SM climbing boots might not be full of pukka technical terms, but it most definitely comes from the heart. By way of …

Reviewing the Newton Motion IV Running Shoes

Clothing / Sport July 1, 2017 May 21, 2020 Leave a comment

Exactly 3 months ago today, on 1 April, I won a pair of Newton Motion IV running shoes in a lucky draw in New Delhi, India, where I live. (SO not an April Fool, then!). As my lovely shoes turn 3 months old today, and have probably racked up some …

Testing the SEATOSUMMIT dry sack

Testing the SEATOSUMMIT dry sack
Shopping / Sport February 17, 2017 February 17, 2017 Leave a comment

Last year, prior to a diving trip to Borneo, we bought a Seatosummit lightweight dry sack from a dive shop in KL. 8 litre capacity and weighing in at only a spectacular 58 grams. I have just taken my lovely bright yellow dry bag with me on its first “summit” outing – a 2 …

Travels with my Kathmandu coffee mug

Travels with my Kathmandu coffee mug
Travel July 2, 2016 May 21, 2020 Leave a comment

If you are a coffee-holic & a bit of a coffee snob to boot, then this review is tailor made for you.  Especially if you travel/hike/climb/trek.  And even more so if you can’t stand instant coffee. Wearied by frankly revolting coffee in so many (otherwise amazing) places, uncaffeineated at the …

How good is the Anker Solar Charger?

How good is the Anker Solar Charger?
Shopping / Sport / Travel May 11, 2016 May 21, 2020 Leave a comment

It’s very good, to answer my own question. I have nothing but praise for the Anker portable solar charger. I bought it before I went climbing in the Himalayas 2 summers ago, and it worked brilliantly, charging mobile phones mainly, both mine and my fellow team member’s.  Even though there was …

Where to stay between Kargil & Leh?

Where to stay between Kargil & Leh?
Destinations / Hotels / India / Travel June 10, 2014 May 21, 2020 Leave a comment

The road journey to Leh high up in the Indian Himalayas is a spectacular but oftentimes difficult one. The terrain is unforgiving, the road can be blocked by sudden landslides, but oh those views…and those colours that look as though they have been overexposed, so bright are they. Last year …
