It's hardly like there's even a decent bike shop in Middlesbrough, never mind specialist Outdoor dealership. We will be reduced to buying "Peter Storm" cagoules from Famous Army Stores, renowned for the waterproof capability and breathability!!! _________________ Big wheels keep on turning, Carry me home to see my kin..............

Fine, there is Millets but they dont sell really good snowboarding gloves or thermal gear (did see any last time I was in). And now that Adrenalin has gone too that puts the nearest places for snowboarding gear at either Leeds or Newcastle.....unless there is something nearer?

I cant remember the name of it at the moment, but it's just behind the Post Office down past that really good bookshop. They seem to be pretty specialist in outdoor gear, so maybe no need at all to go so far as Newcastle or Leeds. _________________ Big wheels keep on turning, Carry me home to see my kin..............
