Anyone going to Borovets 18-25th Feb

I am going to Borovets for the first time (1st time in Bulgaria too!) on 18th to 25th Feb with my wife and kids (17,16 & 11). We are staying in the Samokov.

Is equipment cheaper to buy in Boro or should we buy before we go (helmets, etc)

If you are going out at the same time we would love to meet up with you.

Hello Ian, and welcome to this forum Very Happy
as for the equipment: if you want real quality then buy before as stuff in the stores can be fake.But if you don't mind fake, have a look around.
Enjoy Bulgaria, go with on open mind and you gonna love it!
greetings Tanjette Cool
