Not so much destination shopping as bargain hunting. Go Outdoors is one of those massive superstore…read moreplaces with everything from bikes to tents, hiking boots to kendal mint cake and a tonne of other stuff that I have no need for until the zombie apocalypse. It has to be said that if the dead start to rise this is first on my loot list. I'll need to get my 'oh fuck rucksack' properly stocked. What do you mean you don't know what an 'oh fuck rucksack' is? It's a rucksack you have stowed away in the cupboard under the stairs with various bits of survival stuff, food, etc. that you can grab if the world as we know it is coming to an end. Yes I read and watch far too much disaster stuff and might be a bit of a worrier! Given that the dead are not currently roaming the streets and that society isn't crumbling we concentrated on looking for a warm winter coat for smudge. That said she'd still need to be warm in a nuclear winter, dual purpose shopping! They have a good selection of kids outdoorsy clothing and especially jackets and coats ranging from economical regatta ones right through to seriously spendy Berghaus ones. Thankfully she fell in love with a middle of the range Craghoppers one. It's waterproof, fleecy lined and has a great hood so the poor sausage is getting no lifts to school this winter. While we were there g found a long list of cycling gubbins that has now been added to his 'I need all this now' list and I found a really cozy warm winter coat that might be worth investing in given that a denim jacket is not really the most sensible bit of outerwear for a Scottish winter. Poor puff was the only one of us not really catered for but she'd has so much fun riding in the trolly and pulling things off the displays that I don't think she minded one bit. It has to be said that finding a member of staff in here is virtually impossible. Even when it comes to actually buying something and handing over your money you just can't find any staff. I left g to pay while I got the kids in the car. By the time he had payed I'd got both girls in and buckled, returned the trolley and checked the news app for any signs of a coming apocalypse, not somewhere to come if you are in a rush to leave town and head somewhere more remote and safe.

I have always been drawn in by outdoor shops. This place is more of an outdoor superstore. The…read morefirst GoOutdoors in Scotland and it has been popular ever since. GoOutdoors offers great value outdoor gear in exchange for a membership fee. Please remember that the amount you save in one trip normally covers this membership fee. They have just about the widest amount of outdoor gear from any outdoor store i have ever seen. Men's, ladies and children's clothes and shoes. Camping and caravanning kit and accessories, climbing, canoeing, cycling, running and horse riding also feature. Now they represent every area well but aren't specialists into any area in particular. Shop with care. Watch out for their great bargains and if you are desperate for something reserve online and pickup in store. Staff are quite good. Some better than others but as an outdoor type I just want somebody who can find the size of shoes I'm looking for.

This is a shopping centre in Bellshill.

The clothes for sale in the clothes shop are a little out of date. and are certainly not the kind of fashionable item you would find in most high street stores. However the clothes are all of a reasonable quality and wearable items can be found. The cafe is very basic and not particularly good. It sell basic items like a fried breakfast, rolls on sausages, and chips.
