    I am changing the review to one star. It already happened at least two times, when something is…read morewrong with the product, but according to store manager it's ok (in one of the cases I was able to get money back from the manufacturer). So, according to Blacks manager of the store it's perfectly fine when water bottles are falling out of rucksack on somebody's head. While this store is closing, I have no doubt Blacks will re-employ this wonderful understanding woman.

Ridiculous. Anyway, Blacks is absolutely similar to the rest of them. On the ground floor is where you'll find all the expensive but amazingly waterproof hiking jackets. Not even an ocean of water could get through these heavily gortexed items. Unfortunately, for protection like this you're going to have to pay for it to, and a jacket from Blacks could set you back as much as £200. This is serious clobber for serious hiking action. They do have some cheaper options, you'll just have to search a bit for them. Just like all the other outdoor stores on Deansgate, Blacks has a humungous basement which is where they stock all of their speciality outdoor pursuit gear. Like climbing equipment, hiking boots and camping stuff. This is an excellent shop, but just as excellent as all the other outdoor shops around this area.

    Manchester is surrounded by so much amazing countryside, with the great expanse of the Peak…read moreDistrict just a few miles away. It figures that there should be some serious outdoor shops in Manchester's city centre. At first, you would think Cotswold was just a place to buy well made and nice-looking hiking jackets, jumpers and fleeces. If you go beyond the small ground floor you'll soon find that there's an expanse of gear to be found in the basement and on the first floor. Downstairs in the basement, they stock professional climbing gear with helmets, karabiners and ropes all on display. They've got a great selection of maps and videos as well. Upstairs is the place to buy a force-10 gale storm proof tent, if that's what you need. On the stairs down to the basement I found a couple of notice boards, where staff had posted pictures and info about themselves and the outdoor activities they specialised in. It was a nice touch and goes a long way to prove that Cotswold is all about getting out and having real fun in the outdoors with great hiking and climbing gear to do it with.

    Home from home, split over 3 floors Cotswold is one of my favourite places. With a good mix of…read moreevery bit of outdoor kit you could need and friendly staff who will endure to go into minor detail of the pros and cons of a variety of equipment. The basement has all your clothes, boots, climbing harnesses, DVDs (I'm just listing equipment). Additionally Cotswold invests time in its clients; because of this you have 20% discounts for university climbing members and the lark. All very nice of them. If you listen to recent weather reports anyway it would seem that alpine clothing is going to see a sharp rise in purchases. Long live Cotswold that's what I say.

    This huge store has everything you will need ( at a price )…read more There are lot's of erected tents of all sizes outside the building and within, very helpful if looking for the perfect tent for your needs. Camping furniture, outdoor clothing, large choice of sleeping bags for juniors and adults. Also reading matter in regards to walks etc.. ( over priced as is most of the things in this store unfortunately ). I feel that Outdoor World is going to be wiped out in Warrington after this GO Outdoors has been opened, it just cant match up to the sheer size and stock of this place. At the check out I was over-charged which I questioned, the check-out attendant told me that was what was coming through on the till so I paid I then went back to the area I picked my item from to see the labels and I was in fact correct at the price I thought it was. I asked a member of staff and they sorted it out for me and gave me the refund of the difference. Took a bit of time but still it was done without question. Proves its always good to double check if you are not sure you have been charged correctly. Floor staff really helpful and friendly. Check-out staff not as helpful, could have called a manager after I queried the price but I had to go and look for myself. Over-all though good shop if you have lots of cash to spend clothing seemed very expensive! You can buy a discount card for £5 a year. Gets you money off items, actually its a pretty good deal, example a £35 sleeping bag.. £29.99 with card. Discount depends on the original cost of the item. Worth getting if you are buying a lot or go often. It can make you a bit annoyed if you don't want the discount card to see how much less they can sell items for than the retail price you have to pay without a card.. seeing as the stuff is pretty pricey already. Get the card if buying over £40 of stuff as it already pays for itself and is handy for the future. (GO Outdoors need to pay me commission for that discount card advertisement haha ) 4 stars for amount of things in the store loses 1 star for being too expensive for most things.

    I've always been an NHS girl. What's the point in paying for something privately that you could…read morehave done for free? So, it was only as a last resort that I decided to go to a private travel clinic. I'd had a bad NHS experience which involved a rude nurse who didn't have the injections I needed and was going on holiday for 2 weeks meaning that I couldn't get them before I was due to go away. So, I googled 'Manchester travel clinic' and gave the first hit a call. That was Nomad, and I wasn't disappointed. The staff were all so friendly and helpful right from the lady who let me choose the time and day of my appointment on the phone (I chose a Saturday afternoon so I wouldn't have to take more time off work to get jabs) to the lady who gave me my injections. I'm not scared of being jabbed by needles, but if you are then I would definitely recommend coming here as the staff will make you feel comfortable and relaxed. It's the small touches that count, such as giving you a call to remind you of your appointment or turning on the air conditioning for you if you're looking hot and flustered. I didn't buy anything from the shop itself, as I'm sure most things can be found cheaper elsewhere, but it is a nicely laid out and well-stocked shop with all the travel gear you could dream of, from walking boots to water purification tablets. I'm only knocking off a star due to the above average prices.

    I have booked a last minute trip to Bali and the waiting list to see a nurse at my doctors was…read moreridiculous. Therefore, i chose to go to Nomad for my travel vaccinations and they were able to book me in the following day. I wasn't sure of which vaccinations I needed and I also didn't know if I was able to have them due to my endless list of allergies. The nurses were very patient and thoroughly investigated the ingredients of each vaccine. The nurse I saw (Alice) even phoned the pharmacist and asked another nurse to have a look at the vaccines just to be 110% sure. All vaccines apart from the rabies were approved but a second nurse came into the room whilst I had them just to be on the safe side. I then had to wait until the nurses heard back about the rabies vaccine. My next appointment was booked in with Danielle. I changed my appointment so many times (because we hadn't heard back from the vaccine distributor) and I also had a million questions every time I phoned up. Danielle was always so friendly, informative and understanding. Id just like to thank all the nurses and staff at Nomad for making me feel extra safe and delivering exceptional care!

    This shop is joint effort from North Face and Ellis Brigham. Either way, it's all about the…read moreoutdoors and getting equipped. Downstairs is where all the North Face gear lives. Rather than stocking lots of different brands, absolutely everything in here is North Face. It's basically their entire range, and it's all rather nice. Jackets, jumpers, fleeces and bags of varying colours but all of equal waterproofing are everywhere. It's pricey, but well made and sure to properly do the job. Upstairs is where the Ellis Brigham shop lives and everything gets even more serious. Unlike the Cotswold shop just down the road, this shop sells ski gear including skis, boots and accessories. They've got lots of climbing gear too, but again go for the win by having a two storey high ice climbing wall. "What?!" I hear you say. Yes. A TWO STOREY HIGH ICE CLIMBING WALL. I know. I'll explain. Basically, there's loads of ice, on a wall. It's refrigerated, you see. And you try out some of the crampons and climbing gear from the shop and then climb the ice wall. Oh, and again. They have loads of proper climbing and outdoor gear up here. But for me, it's all about the ice wall. Everything is.

    Another ellis brigham partnership on the same street? Slightly different from its mountain…read moreequipment chum this brigham is packed full of lovely north face gear. Recently it would seem north face has become pretty darn fashionable with loads of chaps donning their bold coloured raincoats. I'm not free from the grasp of this and was traipsing around in one a few months ago, got to be honest though I'm getting the feeling its on the way out. Apart from this, ellis brigham north face is a great burn time and plan your purchases shop with awesome gear. What separates it from its other twins along deansgate is a great big blooming ice wall on the back. Sure it's not huge but it is good for a gander and a crack at ice climbing if you're up for it, very entertaining watching people get stuck on it from the staircase as well.
