Tell us a bit about yourself and how you like to get outside?
Hi! We are Tom and Essi, a physio and doctor based in West Yorkshire. We run Trought and About – a page that aims to inspire people to get outside for all its health and wellbeing benefits!

When we’re not working, you will find us outside hiking, trail running, camping or paddleboarding. We are also massive foodies so this is always a big part of our adventures.

The outdoors puts a deposit into our wellbeing bank that helps us buffer a stressful and busy work life. Life is busy and full of hurry; the outdoors is full of calm and beauty – it is where we are designed to be and we don’t know what we’d do without it.
What’s your favourite route or place to go and why?

Tom & Essi’s favourite place – Rosedale, North York Moors
We love the North York Moors for its variety; there’s moorland, woodland, rolling hills, beautiful cliffs and quaint towns. We got engaged in Rosedale Abbey on our favourite woodland walk so it will always hold a big place in our hearts.

What’s your fave bit of kit available on the OS Shop?
We love the Osprey Talon 11 hiking bag for Men and the Tempest 9 Women’s range. We both have one and they are extremely hardwearing, dependable bits of kit that we take on every adventure.
