Where can I buy hiking gear in Leeds?
Leeds has several specialized outdoor shops, such as Cotswold (in The Core), Millets (on the outside of St. John’s Centre), Nevisport (on the outside of the Merrion Centre) and Blacks (in Thornton’s Arcade). Here you can find a wide choice of hiking shoes, waterproof clothes, rucksacks, OS maps and other hiking gear. The staff will be happy to give you advice their products. Hiking Club members can get a discount card from the gear secretary () which gives them a 15% discount in Cotswold and Nevisport. But always compare prices, as even with the discount in Cotswold and Nevisport, other shops will have their own offers and might still be cheaper. Moreover, some non-specialized shops such as Tk Maxx (on Headrow) often have good offers on outdoor clothing. Sometimes outdoor shops hold special sales evenings with even bigger discounts; these will be announced on our weekly news.
