Enjoy the outdoors in comfort and style.

Advantages: Everything you need under one roof
Disadvantages: None

...I came across this store Go Outdoors about 1 year ago when I went with my partner, he needed some new boots for work and he was told about this place from a friend of his. It is a store that sells everything to do with outdoors from coats and jackets to tents, any thing to do with camping, fishing equipment, skiing, cycling, caravanning, boots, maps every thing you need. The store we went to is in Coventry it is situated at Coventry Business Park, Canley Road, just 10 minutes from the NEC which is not to far from us. It had ample parking places, and it is open every day of the week.

The Great Outdoors

Advantages: It's FREE
Disadvantages: time and effort

...As there seems to be a trend towards magazines this month I thought I would throw in my two pence worth and tell you about a little gem that I have discovered. The magazine is entitled Outdoors and according to the blurb on the opening page it has been created as part of the PlantforLife campaign which aims to help get the most out of your garden. The campaign has been financed with the assistance of the European Community, so I supposed that means we have already indirectly contributed towards it, but the wonderful thing about this magazine is that you can get your own copy absolutely FREE. Isn't that a wonderful word, always makes me sit up and take notice. It is sent out four times a year to cover each season and the current one which I've just received is issue two, Summer 2004. It's a glossy magazine containing a mere...

* Do it outdoors - safely! .

Advantages: Made for the job.
Disadvantages: Has to be carried.

...First aid kits for outdoor pursuits. The problem with outdoor pursuits, is that they do tend to take place some distance from "civilisation", and as such brings with it the fact that any massistance required, is going to take some time to arrive. This is where you are going to need equipment like a good basic first aid kit, to deal with any injuries you may have. The one illustrated is by the First Aid Warehouse, they market this one as the "The OUTABS First Aid Kit". This kit is aimed at instructors or for use in suppost vehicles, kits designed to be carried as personal issue, are a lot smaller, and easier to stow. Contents Box - for some reason this is coloured red, made from sturdy plastic, if a little rigid, personally I would have preferred a bag, much more comfortable when stuffed into a rucksac. EDIT. I am...

getting fresh outdoors

Advantages: soft clothes after wash
Disadvantages: ?

...I have just put the washing on early this morning so it can be hung in the garden and get dry and have that fresh outdoors smell. I also have put some fabric conditioner into the dispenser in the washing machine. Today I have used Tesco’s concentrated outdoors fresh. The bottle I bought a while ago has 33%% extra free. normally contains 750ml the added free makes this bottle 1 litre. just checked tesco online it costs 72 p for the bottle of conditioner This conditioner comes in a tall square bottle with a green label showing a picture of a butterfly green for fresh butterfly to represent outside I guess. Anyway square straight edged products are good take up less space in the cupboard rather than round ones. Although I am not loyal to this brand of conditioner I do frequently buy it. Right let me take you...

Outdoor Heating For The Summer Evenings

Advantages: Great outdoor heating for the summer evenings
Disadvantages: None

...Outdoor Gas Table Heater Model 9201392 Price £69.99 from Focus DIY Store, March 2002 Contact detail: Focus, Gawsworth House, Westmere Drive, Crewe, Cheshire, CW1 6XB. If you enjoy sitting out in the garden on a summer’s night then this small gas table heater is just the ticket. You may have seen other gas powered garden heaters on TV or in your local DIY store. This one is exactly the same, only a miniature version. The heater is designed to be situated on top of your garden table. It stands at 78cm high approximately. It’s diameter at the top is 45cm approximately, and at it’s base it is only 30cm in diameter, so it doesn’t take up much table space. It gives off 6kW of heat when running at full power, so it is ample for heating an area of an average size garden table. The hood of the heater...

Yeomans Outdoors - the best outdoor retailer

Advantages: great range, superb staff with lots of product knowledge
Disadvantages: none

...One of the most irritating things about going into shops these days is the fact that, with the coming of YTS, New Deal, and a host of other employment-figures-massaging techniques, our retailers have resorted to employing trained chimps to serve us. It is increasingly difficult to find anyone who knows anything about the products they are selling us. Not so at Yeomans Outdoors! In the Lancaster branch where I go, all the staff are friendly, polite, and most importantly KNOW LOADS ABOUT the outdoors gear they sell. Their staff training programme must be superb - although I think a lot of it is down to the fact that they only employ people who are actively interested in walking, hiking, climbing, etc. Their product knowledge is excellent, of both their own stock and items which they don't sell (and they will order you ANYTHING...

Great for outdoor activities

Advantages: Easy to use, inexpensive, very useful, great for emergencies
Disadvantages: Better battery life would be welcome, as would improved range in hilly environments

...the Talkr handsets proved to be a fantastic and much cheaper alternative to using mobile phones on pricey roaming tariffs to keep in touch on the mountain. Whilst mobile phones perform better in terms of range and quality, they rely entirely on getting decent reception which in many outdoor pursuit environments is unlikely. In terms of emergency use I'd prefer to always have one of these tucked away in my bag, just in case....

...Blacks are the UK's largest chain of Shops that specialise in supplying equipment for the Outdoor enthusiast. With 104 Stores distributed throughout Britain their Shops are a familiar sight on the High Streets of our Cities.

Outdoor Fun in the Trees ...........

Advantages: Never a dull moment
Disadvantages: None

...The Landmark Forest Theme Park is set in 12 hectares of ancient Caledonian Pine Forest at the edge of the beautiful little village of Carrbridge. Carrbridge is situated just off the A9 23 miles south of Inverness and 7 miles north of Aviemore. There is also a railway station situated in Carrbridge, which is an easy 1-mile walk from the park. This is one of Scotland's most popular tourist attractions and most definitely worth a visit. It is aimed at all ages groups and there are a great many different activities available for you to try your hand at. I would not recommend this to anyone who does not like the outdoors, as most of your day will be spent in the great outdoors. Always take waterproof clothing with you, a change of clothing would also be advisable, and sturdy footwear. There is a reasonable sized car park outside the centre...
