I bet you a tenner however, that their most regular customers are more likely to be students looking for bargain priced army jackets than adventurers planning trips into the wilderness. For those that like to spend their weekends alone in the middle of nowhere however, the shop sells everything from rucksacks, sleeping bags and cooking stoves to balaclavas, camaflouge trousers and army helmets. In true Deliverance style, they also sell torches, rope and pen knives.

The Army and Navy Stores have been in Heswall since the army began! Well not that long, but as long…read moreas I can remember going past it on the school bus! It's your stereotypical Army Surplus store, with a range of rather pricey survival esque gear. They sell gore text jackets and pants, waterproofs, camping stoves, knives, camo piant, cooking materials and fire lighting equipment, books on survival, compasses..The list goes on. They're very helpful in here and I would recommend going for a browse if you're facing any extreme weather conditions or if you need a tent or if you're joining the army! They seem to be doing well in the face of the recession which is always nice to see when it's a shop that people could probably boycott for the likes of Aldi,B and M and of course,, the internet.

Was expecting not a lot judging by the pictures I saw online. The stock was filthy, damp and loads…read moreof stock looked like it had been half chewed by rats. The prices on scabby damp products where not far off that you can get as grade 1 on Ebay. Loads of stuff I was interested in but the condition of it just put me off. Thought I was onto a winner with a German parker for £30. But on closer inspection it had more holes in it than Theresa May's Brexit deal. I was hoping I could at least walk out with a pair of new camo trousers but they were the same price as new on Ebay but they were damp and smelling like they had been damp for years. Boots were chewed by rats. Wasnt even risking picking them up. To sum up. Shame. So much stock. But not looked after. Just dumped into crates and left to rot. I bet there is some rare gems in there but finding them amongst all the trash would take days.
