Not impressed, it is massive and has loads of stuff but it's mostly low end, own brand kit.

Think: family of four heading to Tollymore for a weekend, rather than wild camping kit......then again any shop that's got table tennis tables and basket ball hoops set up outside in the car park for you to play with, is at least trying something different ;D

Only things of interest to me were dehydrated meals for £4 a pop...short sleeve base layer tops for £4.99...

YMMV

We got their catalogue through the door and their stuff looked pretty low quality. I'm game for a snoop round though.

I'd like to see their stuff and have a look round. I'm pretty sure their tops and things would be fine for running/cycling but then again there's sports direct which sells actual branded stuff for pretty much the same price...

Will have to get up and take a nosey.  I remember when I was in France the streets were covered in Decathlon branded bicycles!
