Picked up a HighGear Gobi tent which we looked at last year and couldn't afford - though we forget how much they wanted last summer, so we don't know how much of a deal it was. Note that it's still on offer this week, despite the sale ending on Sunday!
I got the Hi Gear Elite double table for £25. Not seen it for less than £39.99 before, but someone on here may be able to tell me different.
At £25 I think it was a decent price, although I did have to take the first one back as it was faulty, so I suppose that's another fiver I've spent on diesel going back again.
I did notice a huge pile of Hi-Gear returns behind the tills with A4 sheets attached saying what was wrong with them. They must have a lot of faulty Hi-Gear stuff taken back!! But they exchanged it without even seeing the fault, so I can't knock their customer service.
I think the most important thing about Go Outdoors is to know what you are buying before you go and avoid browsing, or making any impulse purchases. IMO these often end up not being the bargain you think they are when you get home and research online.
just been to tees-side store and saw the highgear elite storage cupboard usual price £39.99 and from thursday £29.99 but they let us have it at the cheaper price today you cant get better than that.

To Chelltiger, If the porch doesnt fit right and you look like being stuck with it, give me a shout. If Ive got the money Ile consider taking it off your hands for my kalahari 10. I dont mind a run down the M6 to pick it up. I couldnt find 1 in wigan yesterday so I thought about waiting till the end of the year and see if I can get 1 then at a good price.
Sorry Martin the porch fits nicely. In fact it's a tiny little better than the one we saw attawched to the Kalahari as the gap wasn't quite so long. It matches in colour more or less too which surprised me.

Didn't realise this forum is an advertising medium for Go outdoors!!!
well i thought it was part of been here to help others when bargains are available and there could be others who wouldnt be able to get there when offers are on like us so if they go tommorow they should still get the discount price as far as go outdoors is concerned i dont have a problem with them but nor do i with any other camping/caravan accessories stores if i find good service from any i will pass it on just the same

We bought our sleeping bags and a windbreak with the 50% offer, saved us a fair bit of money. Also got some new pegs and groundsheet pegs for our footprint.

No problem, Ile look out at christmas when hopefully they'll be giving them away.

I have recieved the go outdoors sale mag thing today and it looks like they are still on offer at £70. Stoke had a load of them in stock so if you're still interestedit runs till 3rd July and you could phone and check they have them still before you have that run down they also do the offer on line.
Spent a week brousing tent reviews on here prior to buying a Hi Gear Mojave 5 for my daughter and family on ebay. It was listed as 'used' by an outfit called 'clearancecamping' but when it came to paying the name GO Outdoors came up.
The tent arrived promptly but appears to be brand new. It comes with a 28 day return policy but not the 12 months guarantee you would expect with a 'new' item.
The tent cost £102 delivered which seems reasonable but are GO Outdoors pulling a flanker with this method of selling?

Hi All. This is my first on ukcampsite.

I don't think so. I notice a couple of people have set themselves up selling this kind of stuff on eBay. I suspect that someone is getting hold of Gelert/Hi Gear stuff one way or another and eBay is the best place to offload them. I and several others bought some Hi Gear Kalahari 10's this way last month. None of us had problems but I guess we are on our own when it comes to guarantee's. You paid a nice price for your Mojave so just enjoy it for what it is and hope nothing goes wrong with it after a few uses.
