Happy Father's Day 🥳
The shop is open as usual but James is at home being spoilt. His gift of chocolates was lovingly selected & purchased, shoved in a school bag, taken home ... & left in a warm room where it has since melted! 🥴 Should've gone to The Outdoor Depot, socks don't melt 😉

Spotted!
Montane Spine Race ladies summer spine winner Jenny Hartley is safely back in the Shire and found some energy to pop in and say hi to us! It's been great to see several Shropshire entrants this year. Has it tempted anyone to give it a go?

I'll say this for Sprayway, their customer service is egg-cellent 😆
In response to an earlier post that highlighted the Tarn Fleece easily fits a kebab in it's chest pocket, they are answering the question on everyone's lips; what is it's scotch egg capacity?

We're really proud to be in the mix again, alongside some outstanding independent retailers in the outdoor industry.

Winners are announced at the Outdoor Trade Show (OTS) next week, but just being mentioned alongside some of these guys is reward enough for us. We wouldn't be in the running if it wasn't for our skilled team (Frances, Graeme and John) and our supportive customers, so thank you!
