Adventuous granny

Lovely roomy and great for the beach as well as Tor hikes. Quite heavy when full but comfy on the shoulders.

Will be using this rucksack for the 13 Tors hike for Macmillians charity in Oct. I'm hoping there will be a little rain to test the waterproofing, ha ha.

Great multi-use bag.

This bag is robust and is great quality. Can be used for a number of activities from paddleboarding to cycling. Good number of pockets and a handy insert for a tablet that you can take out if not needed. Would highly recommend.
