ok...I caved in and went...sorry.
I ended up with a new waterproof jacket, road jersey, gloves, silk sleeping bag liner, compass/whistle/thermometer gizmo and an inflatable pillow...all for a few pennies over £70.
The Quecha jacket is pretty neat...good size cycle fit, lined, pockets and vents, reflective strips , bright red so hi vis, full zip.
I looked at the sat nav systems but opted for the more reliable £2 compass and whistle route!
I asked three assisitants where the sweat bands were...none had any clue ..oh well.
Beware anyone who intends following in my footsteps...neanderthal chav wvm is out in force in 3/4 length bermudas flip flops and an england shirt, three necks and two earings...but he's only frequenting the camping section looking at infaltable beds, huge tents etc...the fitness sections were devoid of such animals, except the fishing and football shirt sections....hmm..
