The initial 5 pins include, Old Man of Coniston, Catbells, Helvellyn, Scafell Pike and a Lake District National Park Pin.
The designs try and capture the unique character of the Lakeland fells and have an old school charm that will bring a vintage vibe to any pack.
It's great to expand the Adventure Pins collection. We hope that you like the new designs.

70 years after the first UK National Park was created, we thought it was time to celebrate and hope you like our humble pin. Here's to many more adventures in the National Parks!

The Peak District has a special place in our hearts, being our local National Park and a place where we have spent many a weekend.
The Peak District National Park was designated as Britain's first 'National Park' on the 17 April 1951. As we celebrate 70 years of the National Park you can help to support this great national treasure.

]]>Each week over the coming months we will be celebrating the UK's wonderful National Parks and we're kicking things off with the Peak District National Park.
The Peak District became Britain's first national park in 1951, having played a central location in the history of the national parks movement, including the Kinder Trespass of 1932.
With it's rugged hills and moorland, gritstone edges, spectacular caverns, reservoirs, rolling dales and charming villages, the Peak District is a true national treasure, attracting millions of visitors each year. Indeed it remains one of the UK's most popular national parks, helped by its proximity to cities like Manchester, Sheffield, Stoke-on-Trent and Derby.
Some of our own favourite days out in the Peak District include climbing Mam Tor, scrambling along the Roaches or cycling up some classic climbs such as the Cat & Fiddle and Winnats Pass.
Check out @peakdistrictnationalpark on Instagram or www.peakdistrict.gov.uk for more information about this beautiful area, including places to visit and things to do post-lockdown.
We'd also love to see your photos from the Peak District - email, DM or tag us for a chance to be featured!
