We thought you'd like an advance heads-up on an interesting new
idea from Ellis Brigham - it's a gear test day in North Wales where
you can turn up and assess clothing and equipment from Mountain
Hardwear, Berghaus, Salomon and Garmin.
Happening for the first time on Saturday 16 September, the
event, dubbed Get Into Gear will kick off with a product
presentation followed by a day on the hill accompanied by guides and
instructors led by International Mountain Guide, Nigel Shepherd.
That means not only will you be able to try new kit, for real, in
the mountains, but you'll also be able to pick up tips on mountain
navigation and basic ropework along the way.
Limited Numbers
Numbers are limited to just 20 people meaning that reservation is
essential. There's a reservation fee of £25 to encourage
people to actually turn up, but in return, you'll get a £35
voucher redeemable at any Ellis Brigham store throughout the
UK.
Sounds like a great way to try before you buy and pick up some
useful skills too. You can find full details and a booking form at
www.ellis-brigham.com
or you can obtain more details by e-mail from events@ellis-brigham.com
Don't hang around though, we reckon this is going to be a popular
event and it won't be a secret for long...
