BumDry makes the sort of outdoor kit that starts to make a lot of sense when you spend time walking in the Peak District. The idea behind its lightweight sit mats is wonderfully simple: give yourself somewhere dry and comfortable to sit when the ground, rocks, benches and walls around you are anything but.

That's a situation Peak District walkers know particularly well. You might set off beneath blue skies only to encounter a shower half an hour later, or find that yesterday's rain has left every promising lunch stop decidedly damp. Carrying something that weighs very little and folds down small means you can stop when you find a great view rather than continuing until you find somewhere dry enough to sit.

There are plenty of places where that comes into its own. Take one of our Peak District walks and you could be stopping among the gritstone landscapes of the Dark Peak one day and beside a limestone dale in the White Peak the next. The landscape changes enormously, but damp British ground is remarkably consistent.

A BumDry mat is also useful for slower days outdoors. Pack one for a picnic beside a reservoir, a family day out, watching an outdoor event or simply finding a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the landscape. BumDry's wider range includes practical products for dealing with some of the other realities of an outdoor day, including car seat towel covers for the journey home and lightweight bum bags for carrying smaller essentials.

The Peak District doesn't always have to be about reaching a summit or completing a particular number of miles. Some of the best moments come when you stop walking for a while. Find somewhere with a view, get the flask out and actually spend some time looking at the landscape you've come to explore.

And if the grass is wet, that no longer needs to be the reason you keep walking.
