Boot Bags Available Again
Boot bags are available again! Both black and olive DPM are available. They were out of stock for ages and they are one of our favourite products too.
So if you feel the need to keep your muddy boots off the car upholstery or the carpet at home, you're in luck. Beat sticking your precious boots in a manky old carrier bag. Well, we think so anyway. http://www.outdoorscotland.co.uk/shop/ta14_boot_bag.htm Posted by bigcrags @

 Postal Strike Service
Aye, it's postal strike time again and it's going to be causing delays to our orders that go by Royal Mail. We've added Courier delivery as an option in the shopping basket. If you're in a hurry to get your gear Courier is the delivery option to use. Orders posted in this way will come flying to you by DHL in 2-3 days from when they are despatched.

Just enter the code **only for email subscribers** in the promotional code box when you checkout, valid from 1st October until 8th October 2009. Have You Tried Autumn Camping? We are well and truly in the throes of Autumn now. Darker, colder nights mean that it is vital that you are more prepared than ever if you have a taste for latter year camping. It's heartening to know that so many more people are getting into camping nowadays. Now you've had a taste of camping during the Summer, why not give it a shot now that the cooler weather is here? Nothing quite compares to the crystal skies you get of an Autumn evening. Let's face it, camping isn't as popular once the mercury drops, but the upside of that is that campsites are quieter (not as many in the queue for the showers in the morning) and you're more likely to have that trail all to yourself or be the only soul on the mountain top. Here are some ideas that will make it a more pleasurable experience.  Headtorches give you light wherever you are looking and our Cybalite Sport LED headtorch is a lightweight (75g) and affordable (£17) choice.http://www.outdoorscotland.co.uk/shop/ring-cyba-lite-sport.htm  Our Echo 400 sleeping bag is our most popular product and the spec on it shows why - it has an extreme rating of down to -15ºC yet has an inconsiderable price tag of just £42. Why not take a look at our tester's review: http://www.outdoorscotland.co.uk/shop/sb112_echo_400_sleeping_bag.htm Most important is a tent that won't collapse the moment the wind picks up. A new addition to our product range that ticks this box (and many more besides) is the Coleman Avior X3 back packing tent. It is stable and yet at 2.95 kilograms is incredibly lightweight. You can read up on the Avior here: http://www.outdoorscotland.co.uk/shop/coleman-avior-x3.htmWhy not write and tell us your favourite camping spot and why, and we'll publish the best stories online. Send us a photo too! Item You Can't Do Without!  I am loving the Ring Cybalite Eco Wind-Up torch (£12.50) and have got one in my car's glove box. With 3 virtually indestructible LEDs it is bright and I never need to worry about running out of batteries again. There is also something incredibly satisfying about creating your own light. Find it here: http://www.outdoorscotland.co.uk/shop/ring-rt5124.htmSo who's up for a weekend at the shops? Nah, didn't think so! Why not shop online now and free up your weekend to have some proper fun? Labels: newsletter Posted by bigcrags @
