    The only one I know of is Great Outdoors but I believe they are pretty expensive.

    For Caving gear check out Bernies Cafe and inglesport

    Not as cheap as expe.fr but they have EVERYTHING and are based in the Yorkshire Dales...

    Have fun ;)

    What's the craic with VAT and import duty with Barrabes? Do you have to pay or is there a way of getting around it?

    I was under the impression that it was based in the Canaries, which is a tax/duty free area, therefore if you import from there you are libel for taxes or whatever, I hope I'm wrong though and it certainly seems that I am from what you've reported, cheers!!
