The Trail 100

LFTO Features Team, 23 January 2012 15:37

Back in 2007 Trail compiled a list. The aim of this list was to bring together the top UK summits that every hill walker should aspire to reach. The result was the Trail 100 - a tick-list of one hundred peaks that we think everyone should climb - not because they're high (although some are), or because they fall into ...

The Trail Tall Tale - January

LFTO Features Team, 23 November 2011 08:00

In this month's issue of Trail we've given you two bizarre hill stories: Skiddaw, Parrot-Fashion and Snowdonia's Squirrel Army. One of these unlikely events is true, the other a creation from the depths of team Trail's collective mind and the result of too many late nights and long weekends. But can you guess which is which? If you haven't seen the issue yet, then you ...

Trail PLUS exclusive - the extra pages!

LFTO Features Team, 23 November 2011 08:00

Every month the Trail team slave away to ensure that the following mag is as exciting, as fresh and as full of great outdoor reading as each and every mag that's gone before. I say "slave" - I'd be lying if I said that the guys and gals at Trail didn't love their job. In fact, they love it so ...

The Trail Tall Tale - December

LFTO Features Team, 26 October 2011 16:00

In this month's issue of Trail we've given you two bizarre hill stories: A Shed from Keswick and Jelly from Space. One of these unlikely events is the product of the Trail's over-active imagination, while the other is the gospel truth. But can you guess which is which? If you haven't seen the issue yet, then you can read both ...

The Trail Tall Tale - November

LFTO Features Team, 30 September 2011 09:00

In the November issue of Trail are another two more stories of questionable authenticity: None moor strange and Wheelie wierd. As usual, one strange story has been dreamt up in the minds of the Trail team's most off the wall members, while one is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, even though it might not seem like it. If ...

The Trail Tall Tale - October - Results!

LFTO Features Team, 30 August 2011 09:00

In the October issue of Trail are two more strange and unusual bizarre stories: Climbing Exposure of a Different Kind and Now That's What We Call Striking Camp. Once again the strange warped minds of Trail have created one as a work of pure fiction, while the other is a genuine 'honest as the day is long, guv' tale that actually ...

In this month's issue of Trail we've given you two bizarre hill stories: The Lion the Lamb and a Ladder, plus The Bracing Battle of Adam and Eve.

Extreme ironing hits the Cairngorms!

LFTO Features Team, 30 June 2011 11:41

Some people have too much time on their hands. And too much desire to take an ironing board up a mountain. Here’s what happened when the more bonkers contingent of Dundee Mountain Club set off into the heart of the Cairngorms to reach the highest loch in the UK, armed with two sails, a surfboard and an ironing board. Extreme ...

New poll: How often do you get out there?

LFTO Features Team, 25 January 2010 09:54

Most of us would love to explore the outdoors every day given the chance. But alas, commitment to work and family and restrictions of where we live make this a distant dream for many. Are you one of those lucky enough to have wilderness on your doorstep? Do you get to work such hours that the light of day is all ...
