After Hours: Amber, Manchester

After Hours: Amber, Manchester

When our shop doors close, the outdoors takes over. Our people don’t just sell kit; they live and breathe it.

From the shop staff who spend their weekends climbing, to our customer service team with firsthand experience of the gear they recommend, to our warehouse crew who pack orders with precision before heading out on their own adventures, the outdoors runs through everything they do.

Their knowledge, passion, and personal experiences make our team what it is, and it’s this connection to the hills and mountains that shapes how they share it with you.

In this first film, we follow Amber from our Manchester store. When the day ends, she leaves the city behind and steps into the Peak District. Running here is not about distance or speed; it’s about freedom and clarity. With every stride along the trails, the noise of the week fades, her head clears, and she finds a rhythm that reconnects her with the hills, with herself, and with the love of being outside.

Amber’s story is just one example of how our people don’t just talk about the outdoors; they live it every day.
