Ha ha Thanks for this face. When you're waiting for a bus in a shelter designed by imbeciles you need your morale to be lifted.

The UK's largest outdoor retailer I believe, meaning that they sell outdoor gear, from tents to walking boots, rather than that they see al fresco. I thought that they were still called Go Outdoors, but it seems that they now wish to be known by a briefer moniker, as just Go. I wonder how much that rebrand cost them? Or us, their customers? When I went in they seem to have adopted a 'pile it high' style of retail, with aisles filled with boxes of stock stacked human-high, waist high and armpit high. I came for new lightweight walking boots - but found none that met my criteria - leading me to believe that they are aiming at the largest sector of the market but not aiming for the cognoscenti, the aficionado, the dilettante of the hill walking fraternity (of which I count myself a member!). But I did find them online later in the day. So don't buy shares in Go. Still a nice store and always fun to browse, but their head honchos, buyers, stock analysts and retail experts need to seek customer opinion and listen to the feedback I think.. Or maybe I am just a curmudgeonly, old, eructation of gastro-intestinal air? Or is that a burp? Anyway, you get my drift...

This turning circle is the terminus of the Harlescott Park & Ride service; the cars behind it are in the park and ride car park, while one of Arriva Midlands' Optare Versas that is dedicated to the Shrewsbury Park & Ride network lays over in the turning circle. Arriva Midlands routes 24 and 25 from Shrewsbury town centre also turn here, but their terminus is outside the Tesco superstore out of frame to the right. Arriva Midlands' Shrewsbury depot is a little further along the road to the left, so this is also a driver relief point.

An Optare Versa of Arriva Midlands, dedicated to the Shrewsbury Park & Ride network, leaves the turning circle at Harlescott Park & Ride site near the northern fringe of Shrewsbury.
