With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Photographing THE LAKE DISTRICT by Stuart Holmes is a comprehensive photographic-location guide to the most beautiful places to take photographs in the English Lake District.
First of a inspirational series of photography books for the UK's best locations and subjects. The guide is easy to follow, isn't bogged down with technicalities and just introduces you to the very best photography locations with tips on how to achieve stunning results, whether you've got a small inexpensive compact camera to the most sophisticated full frame DSLR.
Stuart Holmes was lucky enough to be brought up around Keswick in the Lake District, an ideal playground for anyone who is into outdoor adventures. Having had various point and shoot cameras from the age of 11, the photography got a bit more serious on his first climbing trip to the Alps in 1986. Armed with an Olympus OM10 film SLR he made several ascents including a solo trip up Mount Blanc. Being able to record and relate some of the experience of being in a beautiful place on returning home was a revelation.
For 20 years until 2009, Stuart worked as an exploration geologist, traveling to remote locations worldwide. The job allowed lots of time to go climbing, paragliding and generally larking around in the hills with a camera. During this time he was also taking and selling landscape and adventure sports photographs, primarily to magazines. He has exhibited locally in the Lake District and in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan.
The adventurous spirit has never waned, and he takes regular trips to more mountainous parts of the world in search of a new challenge, from the summit of Everest to the coast of California.The Lake District is still Stuart’s home however and if conditions are good he is normally to be found chasing the light in the hills with his camera.
