Meet Gee Jackson, self confessed weekend warrior!
Tell us a bit about yourself and how you like to get outside?
I’m a weekday engineer and self-confessed weekend warrior! I love multi-sport days and try to remain as curious as I can be about the world around me. Exploring and experiences is what I am all about, and sometimes that looks like setting new challenges for myself, such as an English national trails coast to coast adventure triathlon! I am often barefoot, I have a cat named Kathmandu who occasionally joins me on my travels, and I’m a firm believer in adventure being whatever you want it to be, starting right from your doorstep.
What’s your favourite route or place to go and why?
Gee Jackson’s favourite Hike – Burghead Forest
Pictish sites, world war II remnants, sandy beaches, mountain views, sand dunes and a forest. What more could you want?! With a little bit of everything, Roseisle is pretty accessible and great for exploring at all ages. Magical views regardless of weather or time of year, there’s lots of history here to keep things interesting.

What’s your fave bit of kit available on the OS Shop?
Don’t panic, and always bring a towel! The Cairngorms micro towel is a little bit of home wherever I go, and always comes in useful after a dip, a downpour, or just to wipe the dirt away after another fantastic adventure.
