Title: Visiting Regton... Post by: Jon1987 on August 30, 2011, 08:15:11 PM Hi all,
On Friday I'm going to be in bermigham shopping at the bullring centre. I was just wandering if anyone on here had been to the Regton shop? If you have, how easy is it to get to? I'm going to be buying a new coil and I'm guessing it will be easier for me to go in and buy it over the counter than ordering and waiting for it online. Cheers Jon Title: Re: Visiting Regton...

its quite easy -- but blink and you'll miss the small parking area. most of the shop is upstairs -- so do a quick google street view of it so u can get your bearings! Title: Re: Visiting Regton...

Only problem is, you look around and think " I like that, I could do with that, Thats interesting etc etc". Take plenty cash or a credit card! You get an honest reply to your questions by experienced people. You won't get fobbed off or sold something you don't need. ;)

Loads of books and maps - it was MD heaven. ! We used the sat nav and it found it ok. The parking was full so if you see a space on that road, just grab it. Its in a road with loads of small warehouses and they are right on the end. Great guys in there and we had a good laugh. Take care H Title: Re: Visiting Regton...

Still it'll be an experience for you. Just think of Cardiff only 10 times worse. Only my opinion as I lived there for 50 odd years and wouldn't go back for love nor money.

I've never been to Regton but it sounds a detectorists paradise! :) Title: Re: Visiting Regton... Post by: Jon1987 on August 31, 2011, 02:26:42 PM Thanks for all your answers everyone!
We are going to Alton towers tomorrow and on the way back on Friday we are going to go to the bull ring shopping. Part of the deal I made with my girlfriend about going to the bull ring was to go to Regton too :) Title: Re: Visiting Regton...

I'd guess its a 20 minute walk from the centre of town or a 40 minute drive in the traffic! ::) Be careful in the Bullring if your taking the Missus,there's some "nice" shops,could cost you a fortune fella! ;D Title: Re: Visiting Regton... Post by: Jon1987 on August 31, 2011, 03:48:35 PM Haha I'm sure it will cost me a fortune mate! :P
I figure I will buy a new coil in Regtons and all the shinny treasure I find with it will for the shopping trip ;) Title: Re: Visiting Regton...
