Quiz: Where Should You Go Next?

Our lives are not just focused on producing awesome changing robes, key straps and dirtbags. Occasionally, we manage to get away and have an adventure – after all, we have to test our gear thoroughly! If you like to head out to the great outdoors but aren't sure where to go next - and what gear you should take with you, then don't worry. We've come up with this very scientific quiz (not at all!) to help you decide.

Now it’s time to tally up your answers and see where we think you should head on your next big adventure:

 

Mostly A’s: You’re an Avid Adventurer

Your next trip should be to New Zealand – the home of adventure tourism. It’s the place to be if you want an adrenaline-fuelled adventure. The country is full of diverse and beautiful landscape, making it ideal for any crazy activity you want to take part in – from caving to zip lining you will be spoilt for choice. One of our favourite things to do is take the 80-minute boat ride out to Whakaari (White Island) to scope out this active volcano – you can see where you are heading as you are aiming for the plume of white smoke! This isolated, otherworldly island is well worth the trip. Make sure you have your booicore dirtbag with you to carry all of your essentials when you walk down to the crater’s edge.

Mostly B’s: You like the Simple Things

You should go off-grid to the Lakes of the Clouds hut in the Appalachian Mountains in eastern Northern America. A long day of trekking to get there, but you will spend the night in another world above the treeline. No heating, no lighting and no electrical outlets – you really will be off-grid. You’ll need a warm sleeping bag and a flashlight or headlamp. You should also pack a booicore tee or two to layer up with as the weather can change pretty quickly.

 

Mostly C’s: You’re a real Water Baby

River Findhorn, Highlands, Moray (Scotland) is where you need to head – it is one of the best rivers in Scotland after all. Well known to locals but a bit of a well-kept secret, it is really remote but with stunning scenery and best for intermediate or advanced kayakers. It consists of 4 sections: Top Fidhorn (Grade 3) which you can finish at Dulsie rapid (Grade 4). Middle Fidhorn is a Grade 2 and Lower Fidhorn should only be paddled if you are able to handle Grade 5. If you are heading this way then you really need to pack one of our changing robes, to keep you warm and dry afterwards.
