 Feb (26th) - Snowdon ChallengeAndrew Craig is undertaking a great challenge in aid of the Breast Cancer Campaign. He's going to climb Mount Snowdon once a week in 2010. These first few weeks he's been battling snow and ice to the summit. He bought a Paramo Adventure Light Smock (pictured here) from us and a pair of Velez Light Trousers and is now a big Paramo fan.
It's a great cause and a fantastic challenge - please see Andrew's Donation Page here...

 Feb (8th) - It's Cold InsideJust in case you've been in this week and noticed a chill in the air - this is just a quick note to apologise for the lack of heating in our shop this week.
It's my fault, I forgot to check the heating oil tank last week and it's now run out. Apparently our oil supplier is super busy and so the heating has been off for six days now. Needless to say all the winter clothing has been on test and we've all got staff issue fingerless gloves. More oil should be on its way tomorrow...

 December (1st) - Station Inn, RibbleheadAlan from the Station Inn in Ribblehead called in today to ask about some equipment. I thanked him for displaying our banner on his premises. In the summer Alan had been trying to organise an event in aid of SARDA (Search and Rescue Dogs Association) - who are users of Paramo clothing, we'd offered some prizes. He had said at the time that he would put up one of our banners. He's still got it up (and it's right above the front door) and he said it's on the picture of the building on the homepage of their website.
Alan's a super chap and a firm believer in supporting good causes and local businesses - take a look at the Station Inn homepage here: www.thestationinn.net/
