We took a break over Christmas from the works to rectify October's flood damage but we're back on track now and the painters and decorators will be in over the weekend. Unfortunately this means that we need to be closed on Monday 9th January whilst the stairs are painted. Our office will be manned during the closure, so we are able to take phone enquiries, click here for our contact details

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

Way back in March, we celebrated St Patrick's Day by announcing that the pavement works outside the Peebles shop were completed and the disruption to access was over. Now the barriers are back. If you've regularly passed our shop at the foot of Elcho Street Brae, you'll know that the engineers responsible for the layout of the work failed to take account of the fact that water runs downhill.

  In Harrogate we are currently offering the Rab Vapour Rise Jacket at only £87.50 (was £110). Seen by many as the ultimate soft shell Vapour Rise has something of a cult following but deserves to be more widely appreciated.

Peebles Beltane Festival is well underway which means some disruption to opening hours while the town goes about its festivities.

We hope all our Peebles customers have a great Beltane Week.

Their climb has now been recognised by the selection committee of the prestigious Piolet d'Or and is one of five nominees for the 2010 award. The news is extensively covered in the climbing media:

Sealskinz socks have a unique seamless three-layer construction that works together to keep your feet warm, dry and comfortable.

Down-filled slippers may seem like the height of decadence, but The North Face NSE Tent Mule was a surprise hit when we first introduced them a couple of Christmases ago and there aren't many more luxurious ways of keeping your toes warm.

The winter issue of our favourite magazine Scotland Outdoors has landed on the counter at Out & About, fresh from its success in the Scottish Magazine awards 2009 where it scooped the prize for "Best Small Publishing Company Magazine".

Nothing beats a down-filled jacket for instant comfort and warmth. We are currently featuring jackets from Rab and Marmot, both companies which have a long heritage in the field.

The classic application for synthetic insulation in outerwear is in a “belay jacket”, a functional piece that can be stowed in your rucksack and then thrown on top of your outer layers when it’s your turn to belay, to help prevent you from cooling down excessively during a period of inactivity. The relative tolerance of synthetic insulation to damp and wet conditions when compared with

It's a long time since Andy Houseman was part of the Saturday staff at Out & About's Harrogate store but we've always kept in touch and followed his mountaineering career with interest.

We’ve been selling the VauDe Splash Air 20+ (£55) for a number of years and sometimes when you get really familiar with a product you can start to take its features for granted and forget how well-considered they are.
