Try Outdoor World, 16 High Street, Huddersfield. Tel. 01484 542002 - or (a
mile out of town) Blackburns Outdoor Equipment, 303 Wakefield Road,
Huddersfield. Tel. 01484 531561.
And I believe Blacks have a place in the middle of Leeds.

Centre Sports has closed.

There is also Milletts on Vicar Lane near the market. The Scout Shop is now
called something like The Outdoor Centre.

Decieed it's time to treat myself to a new walking bag as myold one is
falling to bits and very uncomfortable over long distances. At the moment
I'm looking at either the Karrimor Jaguar 55-75L or the Panther 75L. Only
thing is I want to find a shop selling them so I can have a look at others
and try a few for size as it were.

Next problem is that my only method of transport is attatched to the end of
my legs, and the use of the bus/train. Anybody know of any outdoors stores

Leeds/Huddersfield area?

Kirrimor is no more, I've been told they've gone into receivership.
Their website is 'undergoing a revamp come back in a few weeks'.

They have had a number of owners in recent years and it seems this time
it really is the end.

That being the case you won't get much after sales service.

Hmm, shame. Any body any suggestions about similar capacity and
quality/price range sacks to look at?

Lowe Alpine, Berghaus, Macpac, see the following link for some examples.

Make sure you try it on with some realistic contents in it not just a
bunch of bubble wrap or empty!

But do you really want one that big? My 70l pack almost never gets used
because when it does I tend to carry extra to fill it and I find I can
get all I need in a 45l sack for most trips.

Allan Austins. Not very close to Bradford City centre but it is off
Manchester Road which I presume is the bus route from Huddersfield to
Bradford so should be easy to get to by bus.

Great walking store but difficult to find.
http://www.allanaustin.co.uk/
There are many bus routes up Manchester Rd, but where to get off I can not
say. It is in an old mill about 20 yrds back from the rd behind some
shops.

Also at Salts Mill which may be easier to find

Their website is 'undergoing a revamp come back in a few weeks'.

I have found LowAlpine sacks to be superior to Bergaus or Karrimor.
See: http://www.lowealpine.com/Products/SearchProduct.asp

and http://www.cccoutdoors.com/main.asp?category=Rucksacks+%26+Packing
for good prices.

Sorry - will have to rectify this now 🙂

Do have to admit now though that the comments in th shed are now turning, as
is to be expected with the shed!, into a bit of a strange post!

Cheers for those links. I've heard some really good stuff about the Lowe
Alpine bags. having had a look at the lowe alpine site I realy liked the
look of one of the Contour bags. As look has it one of my mates has the
contour 3 70L, had a wander over to his and lowe and behold he was packed
ready for a few days wandering (never did catch where he was going). Perfect
opportunity to try it for size as it were. Only took ir for a few miles walk
through a local hilly wood and have to say I am very impressed with it, so
much so that I think it has persuaded me that its the bag I should be
looking at. I think he said he got it from Outdoor World Ltd or something
like that a few month back - will have to find out and see how much they
are!

Cheers for all the invaluable advice and pointers,

It's definitely still there, I went in this morning.

The Centre Sports is now a sandwich shop. Something to eat while out
walking I suppose.
