Join me behind the scenes at the exclusive Outdoor and Social event in the Peak District, where retail staff and industry experts get hands-on with the newest camping equipment. We're testing out everything from innovative zipperless sleeping bags to the latest MSR and Vango tents before an amber warning wind storm rolls in. Huge thanks to all the brands, the organisers Adam & Keith, Ultralight Outdoor Gear, and Dave from Solo Summiteer for making this the ultimate gear-nerd weekend!
