Other sites

North West Supplies

Outdoor and military clothing and equipment.

Field Textiles

Suppliers of Army surplus clothing and accessories. Contractor to the MOD.

Cadet Direct

Suppliers of a vast range of cadet and Forces ceremonial, uniform and combat clothing and equipment. Tends to be fairly expensive for basic equipment.

Quartermaster's Stores

Clothing and equipment supplier.

Decathlon

Located in Surrey Quays, Ms Duffield's recommended supplier for outdoors kit and potential D of E kit.

Blacks Outdoor Stores

Good quality outdoors kit. Tends to be the more expensive/high-quality end of the market. Worth checking their sale stocks for good kit at bargain prices.

Field & Trek

Outdoors kit, and potential D of E supplier. Mid-range typical products, take advantage of their sales.

Millets

Probably the closest supplier of outdoors kit to the Squadron, the nearest Millets branch is on Lewisham High St (just past the library). Generally good value kit, but not top of the range.

Snow & Rock

Although they do a range of kit, Snow & Rock are best for specialist or very high quality equipment. They are the place for climbing gear, ski gear &c, but you might want to look elsewhere for basic D of E standard equipment.
