Go Outdoors
Sunday, August 1st, 2004Writing about web page http://www.gooutdoors.net/
So, there’s a new outdoorsy type store in Cov, just the wrong side of Canley crossing. Called Go Outdoors it is probably one of the largest shops of any type that I’ve ever seen – apparantly it used to be an MFI. The place is huge, and they have got a massive range (much more than on the website), as well as the walking stuff that I’m mostly looking at they’ve got a big camping section, with lots of the tents set up, a cycle section (only Claude Butler bikes from what I could see), lots of travel stuff, caravanning, all sorts really.
More interestingly, their prices are very, very good. I just bought a paclite jacket there, reduced from £160 to £120, there are similar reductions on quite a lot of stuff. They make you get a card (£3 for a year) to get 10% off everything and all the special offers.
I had expected the service to be indifferent at best, but I was impressed – all the guys I talked to really knew their stuff, and were very helpful.
Well worth a visit.
