UKH Forums - Thoughts on North Ridge gear? - UKHillwalking
Jun 5, 2014 · Note that Go Outdoors sells cheap Hi-Gear tents, trekking boots etc. and dearer North Ridge tents, trekking boots etc. but never cheap North Ridge nor expensive Hi-Gear.

UKH Articles - One Minute Mountain: An Teallach - UKHillwalking

UKH Forums - Alpinetrek - UKHillwalking
Nov 29, 2019 · In reply to IRad: I've ordered from Alpinetrek loads of times. I've never had any issues with them, including on returns. It seems that most of the complaints on Trustpilot stem from them using Hermes to ship to the UK. Luckily, the Hermes guy in my area is quite good, but your mileage may vary.
