BEWARE -SHORTAGE OF SAFETY…read more I had a bad fall yesterday. My binding should have released but didn't; my left leg was badly twisted. I am immobilised today and hoping I do need not to go to A&E On the plus side the staff are friendly and helpful particularly those who 'rescued' me from the slope. Regrettably there are minuses:- For its size the slope gets very crowded so do not book at peak times and avoid weekends and Bank holidays Safety is compromised by mixing snowboarders with skiers. Why so? First because snow boarders take different lines down the slope and skiers often find themselves being 'cut up' by boarders. Secondly the weight of skis is split between 2 skis and one ski is unlikely to cause injury to innocent 3rd parties. By contrast a board is heavier than one ski and all its weight is concentrated in its short length. Snow boards are notorious for injuries, often serious, to innocent 3rd parties. The surface of the slope is in places almost sheer ice which is what caught me out yesterday Lastly staff adjust the bindings on hired skis to hired boots. Like most people I did not check this. I suspect that had I done so I would not be immobile like now. Moral check your bindings.

From time to time I take my friend's children ice skating during school holidays and this is the…read morerink we usually visit. I guess this is because of both the location and that there is very little competition in the surrounding area. It is normally busy when we visit as everyone tries to fit a skating session in whilst the kids are off school. This adds to the occasion for me as the hectic atmosphere contributes to the fun. This also means that you can have longer on the ice (not that we ever need more than an hour - you can only go around so many times right?) The facilities are pretty good and the ice is kept in very good condition. There is also a café and a bar. Often there are disco sessions which the kids love. Prices are not cheap, it is nearly £9 for each individual to skate although that includes the boot hire. There are some offers available for family groups which make it almost buy 3 get 1 free.
