    There is some great bargains to be had BUT check the prices as some of them have been highly inflated to begin with.

    Millets in the UK and it's parent company Blacks Leisure went into receivership at the end of 2011 and were bought by JD Sports shorty afterwards. They were in deep financial doo-doo long before that.

    Pity, Black's were around a long time if it's the same company I'm thinking of. My first backpacking/ mountain tent was a Blacks. It was called a Good Companion I think, says he, dredging the memory banks. Wigwam type design but with two poles that formed a V. Quite spacious with good headroom for a tent you'd stick in your rucksack. Bit prone to flapping - lasted for years and then had a second life as a kids play tent!!

    I think it's like a lot of the bigger outdoor chains in the UK, they expanded hugely and simultaneously went a bit down market, getting more into the mass 'leisure' market rather than the more serious outdoor market. In the end they opened so many stores they just diluted their own market so much they imploded in on themselves.
