We went to the 'XScape' (http://www.xscape.co.uk/castleford/) complex at Castleford this afternoon.
'Other Side Of The Fence' (http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?t=5642)
Well, the youngster's now got her arm in a pot, so needed entertaining, so she could watch everyone falling over in the snow :lol:
There is a 'LR Gear Shop' in the building (I knew about it before), so in I went for a look around.
SWMBO followed me in after laughing at someone falling off the 'IceWall'
After a few minutes I ended up coming away almost a £120.00 lighter :shock:
I've bought one of the rather smart 'Snow Jackets' (http://www.thegearshop.co.uk/index.cfm?fa=shopdetails&Product_ID=297) (as they call it) for £85.00!!
Admittedly not in the silver/grey of the picture, but red.
Still a good saving, I'd not intended buying one, but the 'G4' coats weren't in the sale & I'd given my 'Sympatex' to the father-in-law.
Oh & a nice t-shirt
Youngster got one of the Teddy Bears that comes with a rucksack & sleeping bag.
Then proceeded to pay exorbitant amounts for burgers in a restaurant called 'Tootsies' (http://www.tootsiesrestaurants.co.uk/)
If you're nearby 'Xscape' might be worth a visit

:lol: Now that would far too tempting :lol:
Unfortunatley won't be visiting that area this season as the Tigers got relegated last time out so I've have no excuse in saying "well I was out that way anyway" :wink:

I picked up a "snow jacket" in sliver/black from a stall at Eastnor LRW Show in 2003...................Did'nt come of the landrover gear stand
They wanted £249.99
I paid £75.00..............
Cannot think of the name of the stand...................!!

You should have waited until Peterborough, I bought mine for £25 \:D/
I'll get me coat :twisted:

I picked up my LR G4 jacket from LR gear sale at xscape MK last summer. Twaz a snip at £60. The guy in the shop made me laugh tho, he said "don't use the poppers, they fall off"...I thought, that sounds like a Land Rover made product :D :lol:

I took it back this morning, as I'm not too keen on the underarm vents having looked at it properly.
I told the young lass that I wanted it for hill-walking :shock: in the Lake District next month & I didn't fancy having the rain entering under my arms.
No qualms, no quibbles, just recredited the Switch.
Will go have a look at Mitchells (http://www.cccoutdoors.com/main.asp?sitepages=homepage), they're having a sale & who knows I might get a Berghaus for that price?

Can you see XScape from the M62?
I think I know the one you meant. I reamer seeing a big purple sign off to one side of the motorway on my way to barton-upon-humber.

Yes, it looks like a GIANT Cheese wedge just to the western side of jct 32.

Hi BTM & Andy, tis Daz of the DOC here,re: the coat, why don't you have a look at Regatta in the Castleford outlet, I have it on good authority that regatta & berghaus use the same cloth,only difference is the price...
I got one from there a couple of years back £20 for the coat £20 for the fleece that zips in, not bad for a £100 combo!!!
-
Nice one Daz, I now need a new fleece as my zip went today :evil:
