For one day only our Peebles store will close early. On Saturday 23rd May we will be shut at 3:30pm with opening hours resuming as normal on Monday 25th May. Meanwhile our Harrogate staff will be taking the opportunity of the Spring Bank Holiday to get out and about themselves and consequently the store there will be closed on Monday 25th May. Here's hoping for some decent weather and hoping that you all have time to enjoy some outdoor adventures too.
It's not often that a brown envelope contains a pleasant surprise- but yesterday one arrived at the Peebles shop that did. Totally unexpected Issue 78 of The Angry Corrie, Scotland's self-styled "first and finest hillzine". We'd got used to the sporadic nature of the issues but with the previous one being published in Spring 2010 we had assumed that Murdo Munro had hung up his bobble hat and TAC had quietly retired. It's sometimes nice to be wrong- so The Angry Corrie is available again, with the familiar mix of hill news, access issues and list-ticking at only £1 a copy.
