The rise of the \u2018staycation\u2019 is certainly very evident.

And because international travel has largely been off the menu, many have come to look closer to home for a getaway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the data shows, the UK has many, many options for those wanting to rediscover the Great Outdoors, so if you want to get out and see some natural beauty in the UK, it\u2019s really easy to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, it\u2019s important to get the right gear for a hiking trip, even if that just means comfortable footwear. The public is aware of this though and we\u2019ve had sales of outdoor-specific gear double in 2020, compared to the year before.
