Ian,
just to let you know we lived just outside Carlisle for 10 years had to move down to Shropshire a couple of years ago. But still got a house ( looks like we might have actually sold it) and loads of friends up there. We still go to Longtown to get ours and the kids gear when we go up to visit.

Good quality gear never had any problems.

Changing the subject..... i can recommend Carlisle for the weekend. You must take the kids to the Castle, 1/2 term they usually have a 'scary' haloween theme, and Tuille House museum is very good. Just outside Carlisle, not far from Longtown got to recommend Walby Farm Park, brilliant in door play area if weather not too good!!

Hope this helps, let me know how you get on, Amanda

Dalton Park near Durham has a few outdoor clothing outlets getting winter gear in around October time. Not sure if this will help but just something to look into. I live near Durham and it sucks that the flights are limited around here, we are flying from Manchester this year, We went with Balkin last year and had to stop off in Scotland so the flight would be full. They did not tell us about this till a few weeks before the holiday. Not sure if they will do the same this year, if it would ...

Not sure if they will do the same this year, if it would even bother you or if you have been with them before but just a heads up.

Hi Chris, as for Balkan stopping at Edinburgh- they did that with us a couple of year ago- not too bad but as they have the monopoly flying to Bulgaria in the winter from Newcastle we will just have to expect it!

We are going over during October half term and staying overnight in Carlisle to make a night of it.
