question for those in London...

[wonderings]

I am flying to Gatewick Aug 26 of this year with 4 friends. We are going to be renting a car and heading north to Scotland. We are limited on the luggage we can take, so bringing a tent with us not feasible. Can you recommend a good store in London to buy tents? Also for those with GPS in England, are the maps good? I have a garmin zumo I was going to bring with and buy the UK maps for. Does it have all camp grounds, hostels, hotels, food, etc on these maps like the N. American ones?

thanks

There's
Cotswold Outdoor
Field & Trek
Blacks
Which all have stores in London and will have a good selection.

Yes, GPS maps have that stuff here too.

thanks for the links! My trip is still a fair bit aways but I am pretty excited about this trip. I didnt spend as much time as I would have liked last time I was in the UK in 2001. The only down side is I am missing some great bike weather here in Canada. There plenty of campgrounds in the UK?
