The UK’s original hillwalking and backpacking magazine - Inspiring people for over 40 years.
Through compelling writing, beautifully illustrated stories, and eye-catching content, across a range of platforms, we seek to convey the joy of adventure, the thrill of mountainous and wild environments, and the wonder of the natural world. We’re here to help you make the most of your time in the hills and mountains.
As well as stunning photography and top-class writing, we are famous for the rigour of our gear reviews. Our reviewers are the country’s most experienced team of testers – including world-renowned backpacking experts and long-distance walker, Chris Townsend – and we always ensure gear is put through its paces in challenging mountainous environments. Our essential skills advice is written by top outdoor instructors, guides, and experts.
Our roster of contributors ranges from established outdoor writers and authors to younger, up and coming voices who reflect a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts.
We are also proud to have a long-running association with The Great Outdoors Challenge – a brilliant and unique backpacking event that takes place every year in the Scottish Highlands.

The magazine is still full of great content as always and the price is great compared to on the stand however one of the main reasons I buy this magazine is for the beautiful high definition photos of the great outdoors, but when zooming in on the magazine on my iPad the images blur. Other publications like Trail Magazine manage to do this on their iPad editions, I really hope TGO does soon, until then I think I'd rather pay more for a nice big HD piece of paper!
