Just been in Alpkit in Hathersage. What a fantastic place; friendly, knowledgeable, helpful without hard-sell, added bonus of a free cup of tea and a piece of cake, and excellent gear at a great price. What a great company! Well done Alpkit.
Free cup of tea? Free cake!? Well, you certainly don't get that in Outside...
I'm a big fan of alpkit. Not many people know this but they also support their own foundation with 1% of sales and 10% of profits.
