Top 6 places to prepare for outdoor activities

Summer is finally here, meaning there will hopefully be plenty of opportunities to spend some time outside. Make sure you’re fully prepared with a visit to one of these fantastic places.

  • Great Escape: Having opened in 2005, Great Escape has become a firm favourite with many locals and stocks a range of products to kit you out for the summer. From clothing to footwear, wetsuits to surfboards, and sailing equipment to Stand Up Paddleboards, you’re likely to find what you need in Great Escape.
  • Law Cycles: Just around the corner from Great Escape, Law Cycles will service your bike, hire you a bike or provide you with a shiny new bike. They stock a range of different bikes, including BMX bikes, Fat bikes, electric bikes and bikes for kids and are well-known for their friendly and efficient service.
  • RNLI Shop: Pop into the RNLI’s shop on Victoria Road to pick up fishing nets and  buckets and spades you need for a day at the beach and support an excellent cause at the same time.
  • Gannon Sports: Regarded as Scotland’s leading racket specialist, Gannon Sports is the place to go for tennis players of all standards. They also stock all the best sporting brands and equipment for many different activities.
  • GoSup: If you fancy trying your hand at paddleboarding or kayaking but aren’t sure if you want to purchase one quite yet, you can hire paddleboards or kayaks (along with wetsuits) from GoSup, situated in the dinghy park within North Berwick Harbour. Book in advance to guarantee your place or turn up on the day if the weather makes it too hard to resist.
  • Turnbull’s Home Hardware: Pick up some paint to spruce up your boat or some tools to help you with your gardening and you’ll be all set for the summer months. www.turnbullsnorthberwick.co.uk
