One way of making shopping in Tiso/Cotswold more cost effective is to join Mountaineering Ireland.  Your membership card then gets you 15% in both those stores, along with all the other added benefits of being a MI member.  Well worth it, and the discount quickly pays for the cost of the membership.  Just another idea ;)

I did the same thing - joined CANI on a discounted first year of £20 which gave me 15% discount in Cotswolds. I'd made the money back the day the card came ;)

Haha very nice I'm sure she loved it :) Let know what the hammock is like when you get to test it out. Hoping to get up to decathlon in the next few weeks if all goes to plan. Do they do any camping clothing or anything? :/ I need to find somewhere to find cheaper stuff for the summer than Tiso and cotsworld.

Check their website http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/women-s-hiking-68256618/

You may find it on promotion when you get in store ;D

The Belfast to Bangor train must pass close by.

I see you're down in wonderful Larne as well ;D

Nearest train station would be Sydenham although you'd probably have to change at Central.

I'm up and down to Belfast pretty much every weekday; if I can help you and Oisin please let me know :)

Yes the glorious Larne. The funniest of places to be ;)

Oh really? Maybe someday in summer we could catch a lift on your way up? Id pay the petrol for you. :)

Where abouts in Larne are you?

There is a shuttle bus from the city centre to Ikea/Holywood exchange. Think it runs pretty regular.
