Seano Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Caving Supplies in Buxton. Great little shop, but not a brilliant website, so possibly best to give them a call: clicky Alternatively UK Rigging. As well as the more general stuff, they also stock some industry specific bits and bobs not always easy to come by. No online 'shop' (yet), but there is a pdf price-list on their website. Otherwise, if you know exactly what you want and you're just looking for the cheapest price available may as well get 'googling' (other search engines are available). Don't forget to allow for shipping charges etc. if buying online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brainwave-generator Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If cheap is your priority, Abaris is your shop. All these places listed are great but simply don't buy in quantities where they can stray too far from the RRP. Abaris sell big so the prices are generally at least 10% lessthan others.

Well, the actual equipment is my priority, but having decided on what I want I now want to find those specific items for as little as possible :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceecrb1 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Best would be to contact LYON EQUIPMENT in the lake district. They are the official UK suppliers of all petzl gear. VERY knswledgable and surely would be able to help with everything you ask... .even if just to point you to local shops etc who stock what you are looking for..I have bought gear from then directly but that was when I worked in a store and we had the right to order.... we were also given the opportunity to buy things when I spent a weekend at their warehouse.
