Henry Lloyd CP Original Dry Suit

Advantages: Warm and comfortable
Disadvantages: Not easy to get on

...As the warmer weather approaches and the waters around the English coast begin to heat up a little bit I sometimes wonder if the temperature will perhaps rise enough for me to dispense with my bulky dry suit and all the thermal gear and be able to slip into my Pinnacle Stealth semi dry suit, when I say slip what I actually mean is to squeeze, curse and contort my body into said suit as the only main criticism I have of this suit is that it is not the easiest to get into. Not that I can really complain as it did not cost me anything to buy as I was given it by a friend who had stopped diving and could not get anyone to buy it from him.

Advantages: Not quite good as Manchester
Disadvantages: Really expensive membership

...I enjoy going to the gym. I think David Lloyds has to be the best one i have been to so far. I took a visit to David Lloyd in Cheadle, North West. How did i get there..... I drove there and it was really easy to find. It is situated just off the A34 which is really close to Manchester Airport. I just rolled up in my car in the free parking area. First Impressions of the area...... Not bad actually. It was on a complex wich contained the gym, a brewsters restaraunt and a Travel Inn next to it. I supose i could actually spend all day here. And from there...... Inside was good. I first spoke to the receptionist who was very helpful indeed. She went on to explain offers, discounts and what they had to offer. I found this really helpful so not a bad start at all. I made my way to the changing rooms, which were well... Read review
