same with all the big chain camping outlets. Ok for newbie and refitters looking for gear, but outside of that, when you've got mostly what you need, it's a bit boring.

I've found Kathmandu getting a bit of my cash these day for good quality outdoor gear, particularly clothing and boots, the odd accessory. It's worth signing up to their club and you get the club specials and sale notices.

we have 2 BCF , 2 Green sheds , 2 Supa cheep , and still when ever I go to town they don't have what ever I'm after in stock ...

I've given up losing my Shit at sales staff , just shop online and wait for it too show up in my post office box ...

cheers

But I did go the BCF and it was easy to shop in, everybody must have been at Anaconda.
