What a great shop, a gem! I stumbled on this excellent shop only recently as I took a short cut up…read morea side road ext to Gap kids. The Guys in the shop were soo friendly and knew their stuff. I am an amateur runner just starting out but they also seem to cater for all runners including the much more advanced than me! This didnt stop them advising me on what shoes were appropriate for me without making me feel like I wasnt important to them, as some athletic shops do if you are not part of the elite. They also have a rather impresive running machine that they can film you to chech your running style. I hear they moved from a smaller unit down the same street, I guess great service and good products does pay off!!

From Running to Rugby, and Badminton to Bouls, there is prety much any piece of sporting equipment…read moreyou could want from this shop (or the website if it's not in stock) I find that alot of the central sports shops only deal in the more mainstream sporting goods and equipment, more specifically football and semi casual sports wear. Doug Hillard is good if your after something that is a little bit more specialist. Also for all the budding and fresh new teams out there they also do a design embroidery service. So you can design your own team logo and email/give it to them and they can see what they can do in terms of creating it and placing it on some sports wear/equipment. Go on, get that proffesional look for your team!

I enjoy sports to a certain extent. I like a bit of squash or rugby for instance, and I don't mind…read morewatching a bit on the TV. An entire shop, however, dedicated to sporty stuff is a bit much for me. For those that aren't too overwhelmed and are in need of some good quality kit, head down to Doug Hillard's. From swimming to soccer to cricket all the kit, balls, bags and supplies you could ever need are all down here. They keep it local too supplying local teams with their kit and some Bristol Rovers merchandise. If it's kit you need they run a little T shirt printing bit on the side, make an already able store a little better.

I stumbled across this place a few years back, and ended up buying myself a pair of Adidas trainers…read more(when I'd actually popped out to buy myself some onions from the grocers). I guess it was one of those whim purchases but consequently I've ended using them a lot because they're so comfortable. The staff in here are very knowledgable and can suggest different styles of running trainers/clothes depending on your foot shape, type of exercise and fitness level. They'll even make you run around and look at your current shoe soles to understand how your body and feet carry your weight. This can be invaluable when you have no clue deciding whether you should buy a cross trainer or dedicated running shoe. Brands include Adidas, Asics, Brooks, GORE, Nike, Odlo, Pearl Izumi, RONO, Saucony and Thorlo.

This is everything that I dislike in shops; you walk in and there are a handful of clothing rails,…read morebut the majority of the store is just empty. Everything is a bit too cool, the shop is empty and 'minimalist', the staff aren't friendly in anyway. The clothes on offer are ok, but they cost about three times what they should. It all just distracts from the supposed purpose of being an athletics store. The shop is apparently run by experienced athletes, so the advice you get will be good, I didn't stick around though, the whole place put me off.

Let me start by saying, this shop is really big, has a LOT of sports wear, can get really busy, and…read moredoes not have the most helpful staff. It can be difficult to find things, as there is just SO MUCH STUFF, and it is all crammed in. BUT, I give this place 5 stars, as it a bargain hotspot. You can buy some good stuff here for CHEAP! Plus, it is pretty nearby for me to get to, and however busy it may get, it is still easier to deal with than Lilywhites... There seems to be a permanent sale on at this place - either that, or their products are offered at great discounts. I have bought numerous items here, including: Nike running leggings, sports bras, 1000 mile running socks, Londsdale waterproof jackets, t-shirts etc etc etc plus they also sell trainers, sports equipment, sports fashion, bags and so on. Definitely worth a look in, if you are a gym bunny, sportsperson or just need some new sports gear.

There's everything you need here from tents for festivals to hiking equipment. They also stock a small amount of skiing gear too as well as steel toe-cap boots and other work wear.

Campers Paradise seems to be a quintessentially British camping shop. It stocks all the regular…read moreequipment you're going to find yourself needing for, say, a trip to Wales. The selection is well balanced though a little limited, but they have made good use of the space they have by suspending a whole tent from the ceiling fully erect. The British nature of this place isn't just brought into place by the stock of two season sleeping bags and big bins of tent pegs, they also have buckets and spades, inflatable boats and flat caps. I suppose this isn't a bad idea with them being so close to the sea side but it did leave me wondering where the canvas deck chairs and knotted hankies were. The slightly odd selection of stock is definitely balanced out well by the great customer service. When I discovered this place today I entered into a discussion with the South African guy who works there about Swiss army knives and their virtues by comparison to the ever popular Leatherman tools. Not only did the guy clearly know what he was talking about but he was funny and great to chat to.
