The Wildside

We catch up with outdoor clothing specialists, Craghoppers, as they talk to us about sustainability, gear and their recent trip to Scotland

Earlier this year, Craghoppers – one of the UK’s leading outdoor clothing brands – sent four aspiring photographers on a road trip through Scotland. The goal was to test their autumn and winter gear in the country’s notorious weather, while also discovering Scotland’s wild coasts and countryside. We catch up with them on their return…

Why Scotland?

Scotland’s wild conditions were the perfect testing grounds for our gear. We travelled through wind, rain, sun, mist and midges as we embarked on part of Scotland’s own ‘Route 66’: the NC500 – an 830km scenic road trip around the north coast of the country. We started on a winding single track road called Bealach Na Ba, where hairpin turns and rugged countryside set the scene for the start of our adventure.
