Fishy Feet!

Not the best of titles granted but it tells it as it is.

Why?

Well the first experience that Ashleigh and I had at Sherwood Forest was to have a fish pedicure, which sound incredibly gross I know.

However it was one of those things that I had been wanting to try for a while and this seemed the perfect opportunity to do so. 

After settling into our cabin and a relaxing swim off will popped to the aqua sauna to greet the fishes.

The treatment itself involves placing your feet into a tank of Garra rufa fish.

I know that the treatments have been at the centre of a media storm due to the potential risk of infection so I was careful to research if we should take part or not.

It was a very strange experience.

When you first place your feet into the tank the fish rush excitedly to your feet and quickly get to work. At first it feels like an explosion of bubbles, once they settle you experience a slight pins and needles sensation. Not unpleasant but unlike anything I have experienced before.

We sat for 20 minutes whilst they eagerly got to work on any of our dead skin.

The result was very soft feet. Not all the hard skin was removed, but for me that was good as I need some to protect my feet whilst walking and climbing silly mountains!

I would definitely have it done again.

Ashleigh on the other hand is not so sure!
