Also I was told about a new one in Hexham, but I'm danged if I can find it.

I decided to call in and have a look on my way back from west Scotland last Tuesday, but couldn't find it! I came in from the A69 roundabout and was told to turn left into the industrial estate. Well I turned left at the Anick turning and drove around all those units, couldn't find it. Came out and took the next left and drove around all those units and still couldn't find it - at which point I gave up and came home.

Anyone tell me where exactly it is?
not been to ashington, should look though.

the hexham one is as you say, A69 Hexham turn off (that's left off the roundabout), take the first left then second right, it's well camaflaged. nice little shop and the people are really friendly

It's more than well camouflaged, it must be a chameleon!!

That's where I went first when I tried to find it, cos that was where my old vet told me to go, but I drove into every nook and cranny and couldn't see it. I supposed it may have helped if I'd known what it was called.

Oh well, I'll just have to go back again!

The Shades of Green I mentioned earlier is the same address as the Fish Trek one, I didn't realise it had a different name. Didn't see many fish in there like, mainly normal pets, exotic pets, inverts and reptiles when I was there!

I'm pretty sure it is Sainsburys.

Has anyone been to the one at Team Valley, it's just cos I'll be there on Thursday morning, so I'd liketo go and have a look around if it's worth the visit.

Heading South through the Team Valley from Newcastle to the A1 take the last turning on the left which is 11th Avenue (around 100 yrds from roundabout). Then take your first left then second right. Toms Tropical team is at the top on the right handside can't missit. Though Im sure it's closed on a Tuesdays, but could be wrong

I go to Brians (Penshaw Aquatics) for all my food and equipment, like someone mentioned its only a small shop but he is a good bloke, willing to help and sells the equipment you need, hes busy extending at the moment and should have a good range of stock in the next couple of weeks.
