Brandnewday, plan on an overnight stop somewhere else,    

Local shops only MountainFeet     specialist shop.

General camping goods

Go outdoors, Yeomans,  both Stockport way.

Camperlands, Northenden, Manchester.

JR Leisure, Manchester  ( don't believe the sat nav )

Outdoor action,  Blackburn.

Go outdoor opening one up in Great Ancoats st Manchester.   I have no doubt we will hear when it opens.  But as you already have one in Glasgow nowt new there.

The others have already been mentioned.

We tend visit any while away, 

One shop that surprisingly gets little mention on these boards is Springfield Camping.

http://www.springfield-camping.co.uk

A lovely shop staffed by knowledgable people with great after-sales service (personal experience). 3 Floors of camping gear laid out. I like how they set up their tents with camp beds and tables, etc. so that you get a real idea of layout.

It is a bit of a drive out from Oldham through the Calder Valley, but that was part of the experience.

JR Leisure is our local shop and again cannot fault their knowledge or service. Has a good display of caravans, trailer tents and tents on display at most times.

Range of both of these may not compete well with GO Outdoors but I know that Springfield will price match.

Can I just check...you actually want to visit your in-laws???? Care to visit mine too?

decathlon stockport ( J1 M60) is worth a look if passing It's quieter during the week, can be a bit manic at the weekend.

My inlaws are great! They love children, so Husband and I plan to leave them for a few days, then go camping just the two of us in the Peak District. :)

Don't mind me! I get along with my outlaws and we regularly tease about not getting along (if that makes sense). There's been plenty of occasions in the past when we couldn't do without them!

Have been camping with them and although they have retired their caravan now, they will still be visiting us this year and staying nearby. (Must remember to book mother-in-law's broom for a service!)

Enjoy the Peak District. Some great areas to visit.
