Camping equipment

    Does anyone know where I can get camping equipment is Sligo, besides Halfords?

    I'm looking in particular for a 2 ring butane cooker (preferably with a grill, for da toast, loike) & a decent double air-bed.

    The reason I say "besides Halfords" is that I've had nothing but trouble with them - bought a tent set from them for the Electric Picnic 2 years ago... the airbed deflated every night & the door zip broke after a day. The next time I went to get a tent there, I reserved one online, received both an e-mail & text confirmation of my reservation, only to be told, when I arrived at the store, that they had the tent I ordered, but not the travel bag or pegs.

    I want somewhere more reliable, and preferably cheaper.

    What about Argos? They might do a few bits and pieces.
    You could also try the place beside Barton Smiths, it's called Call Of The Wild and their website is here.

    There is another place on Rockwood Parade, used to be called Outer Point, don't know if it still is or not though, its across from BB's cafe. They do a ot of surfing stuff but might also have some camping equipment.

    Nice one, Bobcar - if it wasn't for boards, I probably wouldn't be able to find my own house!!

    Are you dressed as a cow? I'm paranoid about the one in the field across from us who keeps looking in.
