camping gear

We might do some camping while in the U.K. Are there any stores like wally world where cheap gear can be found? Thanks, Scott

There are stores with less expensive camping clothing. We went to a place in Nairn outside of Inverness where I picked up some really affordable rain pants. I would suggest that you post this question on the TA forums. Let the know the price range that you have here and they can tell you what to expect in the UK. I did buy a midgie hat in an Edinburgh sporting goods store just off Prince's Street. I think it was around $5. Pam I just googled it and I think it may have been a Millets that I visited somewhere in Scotland. : ) http://www.millets.co.uk

Millets is part of long suffering Blacks group, now part of Sports Direct or one of those ilk. If you will have a car and plan on getting a lot of gear you might stop in at a Go Outdoors for which I have provided the link. They have a number of places around the UK, are semi-big box, prices are competitive (in fact a lot of why Blacks are having such problems), but the prices are based on you having an inexpensive membership. They carry good brands. If a Blacks is convenient have a look in there too.
