That said there's lots of equipment, 3 pools, saunas, physiotherapy, hairdressing and cafe facilities on site. They do seem to be a little slow at fixing equipment but plenty of other stuff to move on to. Some of the equipment can be a little hard to adjust is ome of the larger guys have been on before and tightened the adjustment screws a little too much. No need to feel intimidated by either the buff or the beautiful here -wide range of people go with a special area for those wanting to use free-weights and a ladies room for any really self-conscious women. Classes can only be booked on the day and do tend to fill up quickly so you need to be calling as soon as they open. Massive car park and easy access.

Towering 160m above both what was once the old-money village of Alderly Edge (now a mecca for…read morePremiership footballers and Wags) and the Cheshire Plain in general, the edge has some of the best views of anywhere in the area thanks to the dramatic edge - a steep cliff-like drop. The edge has historic associations with, somewhat incongruously, mining and wizardry, but these days it's a great place to go for a walk with either the kids, the dog, visitors or even a solitary stroll. There are car parks at both the foot of the edge and the top (the latter is the main one) giving the option of a quick trip to the edge itself and back or a longer, more demanding up-and-down walk.

BIRDWELL WOOD is a huge 75 acre broadleaved woodland situated between Sheffield Road and the M1…read moreMotorway. Originally today's woodland was farmland which was aquired in the mid 1990s by the Woodland Trust, who with the assistance of local residents of Birdwell and surrounding areas planted lots of mixed trees to create the splended woodland that it is today. Apart from being a woodland it's also a habitat to a wide variety of wild animals and flowering plants. The woodland is open to the general public, free of charge, to roam around at their own leisurely pace and to view the many different species of plant-life that grows there. There's a small car park beside Rockley Lane on the right hand side, just before you reach the M1 Motorway bridge. Birdwell Wood is well worth a visit.

After that its over to the changing rooms and you get a wet suit to wear, being quite new the suits are in good condition. Once your suited up and ready to go you need to wait for the session that's running to finish. The session starts with a quick intro and a check to see how experienced everyone is, all newbies in my group so I don't know if experience changes what you do. To get comfortable with the water you first get to the top of the wave by sitting down in the flow of water which promptly pushes you to the top, even a tubby bloke like myself. You then practice body boarding learning to move the board and getting onto your knee's, then the main event with the instructor holding your arm you stand on a surf board, a small version of one anyway more like a long skateboard, then wiggle your way into the flow using the instructor to keep you upright and once you've got your balance they let go and you either sink or swim. Falling is painless unless you include your pride, but everyone falls eventually. Overall the instructor was great both with kids and adults, we had great fun and plan on going again, for £90 for a family of four for an hour it can seem expensive however we are happy to pay it again.
