Hi [name],

It's been a newsy sort of week on OUTDOORSmagic with news about, well, quite a few things really.

For a start, our special agent at the recent outdoors trade show in German has sent in a special report on what's claimed to the the 'world's fastest stove' as MSR announce their answer to the Jetboil. Plus Paramo discovers overlayering - what? Watch out for more reports from the show over the next few days.

Also newsworthy is the result of the first Bridgedale photo of the month competition winner and we think you'll agree that it's a stunner and well worth five pairs of Trekker socks. The good news is that it's now August and time for a brand new photo competition, so get in there.

Elsewhere on the site, we test Go-Lite's excellent hot-weather friendly, lightweight baselayer, give you the chance to win a neat Haglofs pack and bring you a great walking route on Ingleborough in the Dales.

Last but not least, we've just heard about Get Into Gear an event where you can test outdoors kit in Snowdonia with Ellis Brigham. If you're interested, you'll need to be quick as places are limited.

Has cooler weather ever felt so good?

Have a great outdoors weekend
