Kings of the Trail #046

The run-up to Christmas can sometimes be as chaotic and stressful as the build-up around any big event in your life; a key trail race, moving house, a big presentation at work or exams at school. I can’t make any of this easier for you but thought some gift ideas for the adventurer in your life might be helpful and could provide a little inspiration. Regular readers will know that gratitude forms a large part of daily life here at Kings of the Trail and this season provides the chance, despite the craziness, to take time and reflect, look closely and take stock of the wonderful things in your life, big and small…

"Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”

A.A. Milne


Gifts, gifts, gifts! It’s Christmas after all and there is room around all the reflection and gratitude to give friends and family wonderful presents and delight in the warm glow that giving can bring. This week we focus on that, with three articles covering gift options for the runner, adventurer and trail lover in your life (or get yourself something you really want!)…but it’s not all sparkles and joy this festive period, so we also take a look at how to look after your mental health this holiday season…


Until next week, be safe and enjoy the trails...

Do you need some inspiration for gift ideas for the adventurer in your life, or maybe you can spot some little treats you fancy and can give some hints out…

There are so many options for running gear out there, the choices and options can be overwhelming, so use these ideas to find the perfect gift for the runner in your life…

Clothing, camping and fishing gear, not to mention adventure gifts for your dog, it’s all featured here in this mountain adventure holiday gift guide…

Even during this happy, festive period, there are many people for whom it’s not all jingle bells and ho ho ho…how can you try and keep your sanity over this Christmas and New Year…

Each week I update the Kings of the Trail playlist with a new selection – just like trail runs or hikes, you can be sure that it will be a varied and eclectic journey, but hopefully, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.


This can be a crazy time of year, so this tune can help phase out the noise and give you some relief. Sampha is a hugely talented artist who produces his own tunes and has worked extensively to bring his vibe to other artists’ music. His sounds are soulful with an electronic feel but are always pretty chilled. Enjoy.
