[robrymond]

You can get OS Explorer and Landranger maps for £4.32 at the moment on Millets using the 20% code:  FINAL20.

Cheapest you will get now since they bumped the price up but includes the digital version too.

20% off Viewranger maps using code bmc2017, so it worked out at £20 instead of £25 for the 1:25,000 Lake District National Park explorer map.


It seems that the BMC have doing the codes since 2012 so if you're buying next year, put bmc2018 as your code.

sorry...can't view any of the products due to a big advert covering most of the screen, and I see no way of getting rid of it without joining. I'm not giving details and joining a website just to browse their products

No need to have a thrombie! It's your choice but as I explained it's a members only club and you've got to register to join to have access to the available deals - it's not black magic or voodoo and they're not trying to steal your identity. The only possible downside is the sales emails and you have the option to either reduce their frequency or totally unsubscribe from them at any time and still remain a member.

Err, I'm not having a "thrombie"....whatever that is. Simply saying that no way am I giving any website my details "just" for the priveledge of being able to browse their products and then get spammed. Maybe if people could browse their products, they would join and order 

Unusual way to run a business...not letting people look at their products.

I think that one sentence explains why you need to become a member to see what's available. It also shows what a huge markup/profit margin there is on some of this outdoor gear and there is obviously plenty of room for manoevre left for SportPursuit to still be making a profit.

Why do they run loads of adverts on Facebook etc. telling non-members exactly what their prices are?


It's a marketing ploy to make you feel special - an exclusive club. That Achicha (spelling?) lot try the same nonsense.

Haven't got a clue re Facebook etc as I don't use any of the social media sites. The fact remains that you can't get anywhere near, match or beat the £149.99 price on that jacket anywhere else at the moment and if you don't want one then that's fine.

I simply posted a bargain for other forum members to take advantage of if they wished. I did not post it to have an argument or to have to explain why it is what it is!

And this is appreciated  Just pointing out that it's a strange way of running a business.

If you walked down the High Street and went to walk into a shop and someone said you can't come in to have a look until you sign up and give them your details, you probably would ignore the shop and go elsewhere.

No one's having a go or wanting an argument...the prices might be great but I think most people would like to see their products before joining and giving their details to a website most won't have heard off.

[Percy]

Yes, not arguing here either. Just don't like their business model so won't be becoming a customer of theirs.

[dinger]

Ive purchased off sports pursuit before, don't get me wrong the sell lots of stuff but the jacket I ordered came 2 weeks later which was very late if you ask me.
