A sneaky shopping plan for the holidays! Ash, Jess and I decided to hit the shops to get kitted up for the Alps! Although my sneaky aim was to spend all of Ash and Jess' money hopefully!!
Cotswold's first when Ash tried on about 50 pairs of walking boots! They were really good though at fitting them and getting them perfect. We raided the x bowls but decided to shop further for boots... Mountain warehouse next for the group T-shirts, I've got some 10% off vouchers if you take a kit list so someone remind me to dish these out. We got wicking tops to print and then we got some 'Take a hike' tops we intend to get printed with facts and distances on the back for when we get back.
And then the finale! Go Outdoors in Southampton! Hours later we emerged with 12 rucksacks, 2 paris of identical solomon boots for Jess and Ash (but it's fine! They reckon they'll be able to tell the difference with the fact they are half a size apart!!!), 2 penknives, 2 therma rests.... wooh!! We spent a lot of money!!! oops!
The biggest thing we would recommend though is to talk to people in the shops. They were really good at helping , fitting and advising.... and compare prices! Ash and Jess saved about £46 on their boots by price matching at go outdoors and got neo airs for 56 instead of their £90 retail...
Last hint of the day.... make sure the security tag is removed before you leave the shop and get all the way back to Ringwood... hee hee hee!!!
