Hi Claire I know Alnwick well as I lived in Clayport Gardens for 12 years!!!

Kids went to St Michaels ;-)

Try Barrons the Caravan shop at Darlington...its a lovely but very long drive from Rothbury!!! OR its just off the A1 which is on your way to Catterick (love the Sunday market!)

Hiya Ellie! Nice to know that someone knows where I'm from! I live at St. James' just by the football club.......small world. So do you live in Rothbury now? Bet you have same prob as me then when trying to buy camping gear, theres just nothing around for miles, UBC is about a 30 mile drive..........mental! North North East in Alnwick have the tiniest range of camping gear which is a shame cos I reckon they would do really well if they had a good camping/outdoor range, they just dont have the room to display it. Anyway, thanks for the tips above, maybe talk to you again soon?

hi claire,

ropers at washington have very little camping stuff.the one at birtley have a good sale on at the moment as we were in last week

tracy

Was at UBC in Wideopen yesterday and so it seems were half the population of the North East !!!  The place was heaving !!

Loads of new tents up on display though and got myself a new cooker at a great price.

I almost chanced going to UBC yesterday but thought it would be very busy so ended up at the Metrocentre (not very busy at all).

Anyway, wanted to ask all you brave people sho did go to UBC if they had any Royal tents on display.

Thanks
