A great buy!
We try to keep the cost of skiing with kids down as much as we can. Along with picnicking we look for versatile clothing. In the summer we bought an oversized waterproof for our 11 year old. It's just been brilliant. A light weight, summer waterproof, but he's also worn it throughout the ski season. Whatever the weather. It's kept him dry. On cold days he's worn warm layers underneath and on spring ski days it's great just as a windproof. This particular waterproof was bought from Quechua (Decathlon, UK)
PACMAT covers More National Parks with Ordnance Survey
After the popularity of the Lake District and Snowdonia PACMATs before Christmas, we've worked with Ordnance Survey to cover more National Parks. The new selection of OS PACMATs now covers Great Britain, Dartmoor (OS Landranger), The Lake District (OS Road map), New Forest (OS Landranger), Isle of Arran (OS Road map) and Snowdonia (OS Landranger). Be more adventurous with your picnics.
Soft, strong and very, very light!
Kids of the Wild have been putting the PACMAT Signature Family through its paces. "Enter the innovative PACMAT, a waterproof family-sized picnic rug (140cm x 140cm) so light and compact it’s barely noticeable among the bottles and clothes in an average family backpack. And for in-car space saving it even fits in a welly boot!" Read the PACMAT review by Kids of the Wild here.
How do you use yours?
PACMATs can be so much more than a picnic mat. If you've been following us on insta, you might have seen some of our uses in pictures. The thinker We love walking, but the best bit is where you get to sit down and enjoy your surroundings. Look at the view and just have a bit of a think. The sleeper Being outdoors is good for the soul. That doesn't mean you have to be constantly doing things, on the move. Why not just have a little snooze in the fresh air? The push up. It's great doing...
