In Cotswold you can get proper walking boots, real fell-running shoes, those ropey things that climbers use (you may guess that I'm not a climber), proper real coats, tents, hats... you get the idea. There's also gadgets like tripods for attaching to jungle branches and ways of finding your way in the desert. The staff know what Gortex and gaiters are. Not sure why it's called Cotswold as the stuff in here seems designed for ground that's a lot more challenging and rugged than the tame Cotswolds.

Millets is a small shop on Bridge Street selling outdoor clothing and footwear, tents, rucksacks,…read moremaps and accessories. Although the shop is fairly small in size you can order goods from their catalogue and have it delivered to the store. If you enjoy the outdoor life then this is the store for you. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and are always able to offer assistance if you require it. They have some good sales and discounts on throughout the year. They have a range of waterproof jackets, fleeces, hats, gloves etc for men, women and children. These vary from the cheaper Peter Storm range through to the more expensive Berghaus brand.

They do have sales from time to time so you can get a reasonable reduction. Good also for camping gear and shoes and boots. UPDATE NOV 2010: I've come back to give this shop an extra star rating after the wonderful, friendly and helpful service I received yesterday from the the young guy who was serving in there. Nothing was enough trouble for him, definitely a credit to Millets!

The store stocks a good range of camping and outdoor equipment and whilst I dont go camping very often I do like to buy the childrens outdoor coats here. The quality of their products is good and hard wearing and I have never had reason to complain. Childrens coats can range from £15 to £30 however I feel this is worth paying for. Most of their items seem to be priced a little above average but I guess that you get what you pay for. Staff are always helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend a visit if you havent been to a Millets before.

She planned for seven years to be back sometime to be one of those surfers on NYD and this was the year. We stopped at TYF to get a board and wet suit and the staff (Abby and Tom) were so helpful. We were in and out in 15 minutes with our hire and they recommended the right beach with the right conditions. My daughter had a great time and when we returned the kit it was fast and easy. I can't even tell you how reasonable the prices were. Fantastic experience and we will be sure to come back again.

As I already own a rather nice tent, I purchased a fold up chair for £9.99, which will really come in handy for those summer camping trips I have planned with my mates. Mountain Warehouse had a large stock of sleeping bags, rucksacks, flasks, hats, cooking stoves, Wellingtons etc... all at prices far lower than you would pay in regular shopping areas.

They refused to do anything, even though trading standards said they should do. As for bank statement they said "I could of come in and brought some things to the tent value, just to claim on the warranty of the tent". What do they take a genuine customer for. I finally found the reciept and they did change it, but as others have experienced there aftersales service is BAD really BAD, and so I would never buy anything off them again. I might go and look, but buy elsewhere. The ukcampsite.co.uk site forum has many simular unhappy customers with regard to aftersales service.

With some of the most amazing beaches in Wales right on the doorstep (Oxwich Bay and Three Cliffs…read moreBay), this is a truly wonderful campsite which is hugely popular with families and, well, pretty much everyone. Gosh, talk about serendipity, I just welcomed my friend home and asked where she'd been for the last couple of days. 'Three Cliffs Bay Caravan Site', says she. And I stare back google-eyed. So it's a pretty popular spot for the people of South Wales to escape to for a couple of nights away. It's also massively popular for summer holidays and can be seriously booked up during July and August. So get in there fast kids! The facilities are good, and there's everything you need to look after yourself while away. They also have a particularly good children's play area. While certain sections of this camp site can get very busy, usually you'll be able to escape to a quieter field. It can get a little bit blustery though!
