Osprey Ariel 55 Pack - Women's

Advantages: good facilities
Disadvantages: expensive and far too busy, when I went at least

...for a £99 joining fee, then £80 a month, or £75 corporate or joint membership. ‘Select’ membership is for all the others, some of which don’t have swimming pools. This is a £49 joining fee; then you’ll be forking out £69 a month or £62 if you can get a joint or corporate deal. These prices are for all the gyms nationwide if you choose a package deal, but you can of course join an individual gym. For my central London branch, I paid £49 joining fee and £65 monthly subscription. Yikes must use it more to get more out of that money I can ill afford to waste! On joining you usually get a pack with a body microwaving voucher and a few guest passes - hence my trip to a branch I don’t actually belong to today. You can get off peak membership for £55 a month or £50 joint or corporate. This restricts the times you can go, details are below. MY... Read review

So it's not just me that agrees they are a good buy! **********Comfort********** Not once through out the whole expedition do I remember moaning about the pain of my feet. My other three team mates all had foot problems, two with blisters and the other with their Achilles' tendon. I was extremely surprised that after carrying my 20+ kg pack that I had no mark on my feet, and I went to work in a restaurant the next day! I have to admit I was quite tired though! I have suffered from Athletics' foot, veruccas, ingrown toenails, the lot over the last twelve years, and after surgery and medication I am 99% there, so to my misbelieve I would swear by these boots.
