For ten years, readers of the Southport Visiter and Formby Times followed the ups and downs of family life in the Atkinson household in Deb’s Diary. Now Debbie has reached a new stage in her life – her three children have flown the nest and her husband has retired. In Deb on the Web she will be talking about some of the interesting places, both near and far, that she has found on her “retirement travels� and she’d love you to leave feedback (good or bad) on places you’ve visited.

THE CHILL FACTOR

Posted by Debbie Atkinson on January 21, 2008 6:47 PM |

It was such a miserable, wet day today that we decided to go somewhere where the weather wouldn't matter. The Trafford Centre it was then. But then I remembered that The Chill Factor had opened right next to the Trafford Centre - and I just fancied sipping hot chocolate on an Alpine slope. The Chill Factor is the biggest indoor ski slope in the country - you can hire all the gear and then either ski or snowboard - or just pay to throw snowballs. If you do what we did it's free to get in. It's worth a visit for the novelty value but unless you've got a family member to watch on the slope it gets a bit repetitive - once you've seen someone ski from top to bottom, that's about it. There's a Nandos and a Chiquito as well as an ice cream shop with every variety imaginable.

That's helpful Deb - I'd been wondering what it would be like. It's good to get an honest opinion.
