Ironically, this ugly warehouse-style building by the side of an urban road contains everything you…read moreneed to enjoy the great outdoors. It's recently been taken over and the new manager is really friendly and has introduced some new ranges, so it's well worth a visit. As the name suggests, the focus is on outdoors clothing and equipment, so expect fleeces, walking trousers, raincoats and walking boots. There's also a good range of camping equipment, ranging from tents to caravan gear, camping stove and dubious looking mountain food. Think Millets, but bigger. If you're not used to outdoor shops, it's great fun looking at the gadgets like 'sporks' (half spoon, half fork) and 'platypuses' (water bladders in backpacks with a giant straw). If you are used to outdoor shops, you'll be bound to find something here. I must confess to being a bit of an outdoors snob, but there are some really good bargains here, especially with waterproofs, and you can't go wrong with generic camping bits and bobs. There's even a new and improved rock climbing section with all the basics. It's probably the best place for rock shoes and harnesses in the area and the manager can give some very useful advice. There are sections for fishing, running, cycling and even skiing, and whilst this is in no way a specialist shop for any of them, it's big enough to have a reasonable range of basic items to satisfy the enthusiast's immediate needs. Go and buy lots of fun gadgets and look forward to your holidays, when living in a tent suddenly seems like such a fun idea.

What a great shop, a gem! I stumbled on this excellent shop only recently as I took a short cut up…read morea side road ext to Gap kids. The Guys in the shop were soo friendly and knew their stuff. I am an amateur runner just starting out but they also seem to cater for all runners including the much more advanced than me! This didnt stop them advising me on what shoes were appropriate for me without making me feel like I wasnt important to them, as some athletic shops do if you are not part of the elite. They also have a rather impresive running machine that they can film you to chech your running style. I hear they moved from a smaller unit down the same street, I guess great service and good products does pay off!!

This is well known amongst University sports teams, as it provides the kit for lots of college…read moresports. It's been around for nearly a century and really knows its stuff, which isn't to say it's necesarily the best, but the staff are knowledgeable and polite, the items are of good quality, and the prices, while not cheap, aren't extortionate. It caters for non-university teams as well, with items ranging from basic t-shirts to embroidered uniforms. You pick the material (eg: Nike), the sizes and the design, or you can specify a bespoke design if it's not one they already cater for. The shop's got a nice feel to it - not too cluttered, and it feels sort of vintage and English, with photos of cricket teams on the walls.

I went with a friend to get a badminton racket and spent a long time just choosing, as the selection was great! There's a range of most items starting at your basic stuff for beginners, up to professional quality items for those who are a bit more keen and experienced. A range of prices too. There's quite a few photos of college teams, so the shop obviously caters for a few university sports. Recommended to us by someone who's into many sports - give it a try.
