What should I get. Going for practical reasons as all chairs broke last year but want to lol at gadgets and pretty things too!

Any recommendations or new things out this year?

Do you have a decathalon near you? I much prefer it there and think the prices are much better!

ThanosSavedMe · 19/05/2019 18:27

We do but I don't much like the decathlon stuff for camping, they do the basics well but I wasn't looking for basics today.

Need to go somewhere else for pretty things or good gadgets at GO Outdoors wasn't as good as it used to be either!

I found go outdoors a disappointment too

As someone who worked at Go Outdoors, don’t go there. Complete cowboys!

Mountain Warehouse or Cotswold Outdoors are much better.

I went to Cotswold Outdoors yesterday. It was OK, but I would have liked to have seen more camping accessories - chairs and tables, a bigger range of lamps etc.

If your chairs broke I would not get new ones from Mountain Warehouse, Go Outdoors actually do a decent range of chairs.

For pretty things I'd go to ikea or supermarket for garden/picnic things, Go Outdoors is quite functional IME.

I meant better in how they treat their staff.

NotMeNoNo · 28/05/2019 17:11

It doesn't surprise me Being staff seem a bit thinly spread there.

I got a written warning because I was putting people’s home numbers instead of their mobile numbers in the box where it said ‘customer contact number’. I was never told to only put mobile numbers in my training and no one had come to me before to remind me. I was young enough to not realise how unfair that was. They wanted the numbers so they could spam people with texts.

This chair

Camp chair that reclines. No bar at the front either. One of my best evah purchases.

The quality of go outdoors products have gone down since sports direct bought them out I think.
