Outdoorsy stuff in Cork

corblimey

I need to get my hands on a few things and have no idea where to get them in the city:

Compass
Carabiners
Decent raingear

I think I should be able to get these all in 1 shop, any tips?

Great Outdoors? If so it's a pretty poor shop, Maher's is great though.

Theres a shop worth trying on the hill at the end of MacCurtain St, leads up to the entrance of the Presbyterian church.

Otherwise upstairs in the place next to the bus station. Is that Mahers? Very helpful people and lotsa clothing options.

Oops, sorry, didn't see the post above!

Nope mahers outdoor is still there

it was mahers corner (fitness kit) that moved, up to oliver plunkett st. near the sports shop.

needlesports.com or jackson-sports.com would be my recommendation. Gear is usually cheaper on line, particularly stuff like the 'biners. Both have really quick delivery too.

The Outdoor store on The coal quay. Great shop.

Hogzy

Scout shop on McCurtain St are great for that stuff, between the Metropole and LeisurePlex
