The outdoors is a blokey world
Which, let’s be honest here girls, is one of the reasons that we love it so much!
So how can we make sure that, whilst beating the blokes at their own game (another reason we love it) we retain an element of femininity?
In other words – IS PINK THE ANSWER?
We can feel you cringing as we type, but in the name of Blonde research, let’s investigate some possibilities that give just that hint of girliness:
Berhaus Womens Torridon 60 Rucksack
£85 Cotswold Outdoor. Colour – Jet Black. Blonde thoughts – Hmm, just that little hint of pink on a pack that otherwise says, “Take me very, very seriously.” We like it!
Scarpa Womens Baltoro GTX Boot
£149 Scarpa. Colour – Grey/Pink. Blonde thoughts – We Blondes have had mixed experience with Scarpa boots in recent years but you have to agree, these could brighten up the boggiest of Bimbles.
Icebreaker Merino Flexi Chute
£25 Icebreaker. Colour – Magenta. Blonde thoughts – We Blondes love scarves. My neck likes a bit of merino comfort. Ring the mood changes with this one – pink neck (keep me warm), pink head (pay attention).
The Blonde jury is out on pink but you can be sure of one thing. Should we choose to go down the powder, cerise or magenta route, we Blondes will be easy to spot out on Dartmoor!
I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog – I’m just starting my own walking blog and have only done two posts so far but it’s good to see the type of thing people write about. I hope you might follow me too.

PS you can never be too pink!

Hi Paula. Well done on the blog. It is great fun and makes you get out walking even more. We Blondes have been writing ours for over two years now and haven’t run out of things to say yet!
Did you know that we Blondes have also published a book? – The Dartmoor Christmas Tree is a children’s story (for big people!). You never know where blog writing will take you!
Hubby says I look like a bag of dolly mixture when out on the moor as I wear many different colours (think 1980’s ski gear), my theory being that if the poop hits the fan I want the rescuers to be able to see me from really far away!!!
Multi-coloured is good. In Europe (see B1’s post about shopping in Norway) the outdoor gear is all bright and lovely.
