Other Articles in this Issue
T3
SHOWSTOPPER
Gadgets that showcase the very best that design and technology have to offer
ADVENTURE TECH
Outdoor escapades are all about adventuring amongst nature, but these experiences can be even wilder with access to the right tech to dial up the excitement
WATER
Whether it’s the sea or the river, these aquatic activities are worth diving into
SWIMRUN
More than just a multisport pursuit for people who don’t have a bike, SwimRun and Aquathon events involve multiple land and water stages, and usually take place in stunning landscapes such as the Lake District or the Scilly Isles, with alternating running and swimming sections along trails and across lakes, bays or along sections of a river.
ROCK
Clambering up tough surfaces doesn’t have to be rock hard
VIA FERRATA
Offering non-technical climbers the chance to experience how it feels to cling to the side of a vertiginous rock face, via ferrata are alpine routes formed by permanently placed metal rungs set into the side of mountains. Historically, such ‘iron roads’ were used by combatants in WWI, during a terrible sky-high battle for control of the Dolomite Mountains between Italy and Austria, but now thousands of the routes are explored by recreational climbers on the continent, and the UK has several via ferratas too.
TRAILS
Great gear for getting off the beaten track
CANICROSS
Running with your best buddy is very rewarding, especially if your mate has four legs and helps you up the gnarliest hills. Born in Scandinavia, canicross has become big in Britain, but there’s more to running efficiently with your dog than you might realise. It’s important to use the correct kit, and never over-exercise your dog – especially in summer.
ROAD
It could be on foot, on wheels or by board…
E-SCOOTING
Heralded as an obvious answer to urban road congestion and the resultant air pollution, folding e-scooters are widely used in cities across Europe. Many models now offer indicators, lighting, regenerative braking and a host of other features. Currently you can’t use a privately owned e-scooter on UK roads and pavements, but if you have access to private sealed surfaces, these powerpacked machines can provide an exhilarating ride.
SKY
Catch some serious – and some not-so-serious – air
KITESURFING
Although wing-sports are currently soaring in popularity, no other board-based activity can come close to the aerial capability and flamboyance enjoyed by skilled kitesurfers, who sometimes seem to spend as much time in the air as they do skimming the waves. Jumps of over 35 metres in height have been recorded, with hangtime exceeding 20 seconds.
MUST-HAVE GREEN GEAR
Whether it’s cameras, phones, trackers or all sorts of other tech, there’s a fantastic sustainable option out there
Complete laptop & tablet kit
Get ready for the new term (or new job!) with the perfect combination of laptop, tablet and accessories for you
Mid-sized EV SUVs
Picking from an expanding market, we’ve put three EV SUVs through the testing mill to see which one’s the most sophisticated and reliable
WHAT’S ON TEST…
1 Audi Q4 e-tron Audi’s smallest electric SUV
AUDI Q4 E-TRON
A mid-sized SUV that’s fun to drive, this is a tempting proposition
BMW iX1
BMW’s entry-level electric SUV looks great and is a bundle of fun to drive
MERCEDES EQE SUV
A family-friendly option for premium buyers that need an all-purpose EV
THE OVERALL WINNER IS…
BMW iX1 From £53,295, bmw.co.uk WE’RE IMPRESSED
