Alpkit Yardy This Saturday

A quick heads up for Midlands-based OMers looking for a bargain - Alpkit is holding its second ever yard sale at its lavish Ilkeston base this Saturday 25 October.

The boys are selling off a load of stuff that needs clearing out before their imminent stock take with a selection of random bargains including seconds, samples, discontinued products and new products with minor missing bits like a stuff sac or a buckle.

There's a rough list of what's available at the Alpkit web site, but it includes down jackets and sleeping bags, old-style Gourdon dry bags, the odd Airic, some trekking poles and so on.

Doors open at 8 am prompt, coffee will be served, and it's strictly first come, first served and they'll be shutting up shop once everything's been sold or no-one wants what's left... It's ideal for bargain-hunting locals, but bear in mind that Ilkestone's just five minutes away from the M1 which rather conveniently points straight at the Peak District.
