DEVON | THE HIDDEN PATH

We love walks especially on warm sunny days, the pair of us are always taking the path that 

looks more difficult and wondering of course but we are usually rewarded. 

We have found hidden lakes, tiny waterfalls and unusual wildlife. 

Sometimes taking the road less travelled is so worth it, even if in this case it feel like you are 

getting eaten alive by the over growth.  

Hidden pond full of insects and maybe a frog or two 

The path was over grown but the views that unfolded before us were spectacular 

The stream from this waterfall flowed past our feet as we crossed what felt like a magical stepping stone bridge 

We manged to find a different path home after we just stood transfixed on this view that we 

found by simply stopping the car at an unusual sign and following a path. 

Keep exploring and never stop searching for that view.

Thermos King flask review

This is a little different then our usual blog of exploring the countryside but we think it is 

important to have the right equipment whilst adventuring, and for us the thought of an 

adventure without tea would be unbearable.

Finding a good flask can be a tricky job as we found out our first flask eventually exploded in 

Adam's face one day it was cheap and did us well for a few trips but it was time to invest in 

a quality bit of kit.

We started looking at the internet for reviews and brands and eventually set our sites on the

 Thermos king, and after using it for a good year can now write a review to hopefully help 

anybody needing a new flask 

WHY THIS FLASK OVER OTHERS?

we have always wanted a Stanley flask as we love the look of them and they have always 

been a sturdy flask from our grandparents memories,  but reading reviews of the newer 

Stanley flasks we were saddened to hear that a lot of people though it was a of cheap

quality than the original this of course put us off and upon researching more found the 

Thermos king.

This flask is sturdy and holds 1.2l of tea which is more than enough for the two of us it works 

out about 6 or 7 cups and it is stainless steal meaning it is not made like the cheaper glass 

vacuum flask which we have learnt from experience are much weaker and often brake if 

dropped or in our case water thats two hot.

It has a pour stopper which means you can open the lid half way to pour your tea or coffee 

without taking the lid fully off which is useful if you spill it like Sarah

It really keeps tea warm for 24 hours we left ours down the allotment in the shed all night 

and when we arrived the next day our tea was still warm 

The flask is easy to transport its not heavy we have taken it on a lot of camping trips from 

the cotswolds to the lake district and it has hold up well.

On some reviews people have mentioned about the handle making noise as you walk but 

we have not noticed this on our adventures

We have however one downside to mention and that is the lid of the flask can get very warm 

once you have poured your tea of coffee into it so it can be a little hot to hold but it is just a 

very minor problem we just pop it down for a few minutes then its usually fine.

It retails at £27.95 from the official Thermos website but with a bit of hunting could be found 

for cheaper but from the website it comes with a lifetime guarantee 

It comes in 3 colours matt black which is the one we have red and blue we use flasks a

lot on our travels and none of them have held up as well as this one if you are looking for a

 flask and are willing to pay that little extra it really is worth it in the long run 

Happy adventures everyone
