Please note this competition is now closed.
I’ve partnered up with the awesome team at Craghoppers to bring you one of the biggest and best competitions Bemused Backpacker has ever run!
The ultimate gap year starter kit from Craghoppers consists of everything you will need to get your gap year off to a roaring start. This includes:
This entire awesome haul is worth over £300, and it can be all yours!
10 runners up will each win a copy of my book Backpacking: The Ultimate Guide To First Time Around The World Travel! So even if you don’t have the equipment to help you start your gap year, you’ll have all the information, advice and inspiration you need!
Entering could not be simpler.
Simply enter your email and subscribe to Bemused Backpacker in the sidebar box to your right and leave a comment in the section below saying what one item you can’t live without when you travel. It can be something useful, something practical or something you like just for fun. It doesn’t matter. There is no right or wrong answer.
Subscribing is ESSENTIAL to win as this will be the email I contact you on.
Want MORE chances to enter? That’s easy too.
Each one of these counts as one extra entry, so you have up to 5 chances to enter!
(If you are already signed up or following Bemused Backpacker or Craghoppers, then thank you! You can still be counted.
All you have to do is mention that in the comment and answer the question.
The competition will run until midnight on Wednesday 30th September and the lucky winners will be picked out completely at random and notified by Saturday 3rd October 2015.
My decision is final and I reserve the right to change the competition at any time. No cash alternatives can be offered.
