Staff incredibly helpful
It was amazing. Luciana was incredibly helpful and picked out the perfect equipment for my Duke of Edinburgh expedition. I will certainly be coming here for all of my outdoor kit from now on

Good range of boots and general outdoor gear, friendly helpful staff. Quick, knowledgeable service. Manager got a bit cross with her team in earshot of customers, rather unprofessional! Prices erratic!

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable
Really helpful, sold us what we needed but didn't oversell, Luciana was brilliant using her experiences to help with quite a difficult shopping list. We will most likely be back for a rucksack fitting
