To celebrate the opening of our fantastic new Milton Keynes store The Climbers Shop are offering you the chance to win a pair of Rab Neutrino 600 sleeping bags worth over £500!!!!!

We have two floors packed with the very best choice of footwear, rucksacks, clothing, stoves, sleeping bags, tents, accessories, lighting and climbing gear so whether you are starting out on your first D of E training expedition, planning a charity trek to somewhere far flung or heading out to the greater ranges for a first ascent you can shop with us in the confidence that we have the knowledge and experience to help you make the right choice of gear for your needs. In fact – we’ll probably be as excited as you are! Why? Because way back in 1959 The Climbers Shop was the very first outdoor equipment shop to open in Ambleside, The Lake District, when the founder, Frank Davis, decided to open a specialist shop to sell the walking and mountaineering gear he needed for his own expeditions. 

For over half a century customers have been welcomed with the very best choice of outdoor equipment, a keen interest in the activities they love and most importantly, good advice tailored to their specific needs – those increasingly rare shopping experiences that we all have misty memories of. Our brilliant staff team help us stay true to our roots by using their time, knowledge and passion for their chosen sport to offer advice and service way beyond that of just a financial transaction. In fact, loads of our customers come in and then leave without buying anything at all! They simply just pop in for a chat about what they’ve been up to.

So why on earth is a Lake District icon opening down south? Well, ironically, Milton Keynes was key to the current owners’ involvement in rock climbing and mountaineering. Both Directors Paul and Cathy Casey grew up in the city and started out on backpacking trips to the Peak District with schools and D of E before moving on to climbing trips across the UK and later, expeditions to the Alps, North America and the Himalaya. But the link to our new shop goes even deeper. In fact, the very building that The Climbers Shop is based in is on Stony Stratford High Street and used to be the home of the famous Outdoor Shop. Where in 1992 (and this is where the less romantic among you may want to throw up) they met.

But back to sleeping bags and your chance to be toasty warm and very smug in a free one or even two if you are going somewhere really cold or have no friends to give the other half of your prize to.
