Re: 11 February 2007 meet

This time of year is traditionally about the coldest that the quarry gets. You know how cold it is when you pop through the thermocline... well expect it to be about that cold all the way down!

I'll be in my new suit and socks, so I hope their effective! Maybe I'll put my drysuit in the car too, just in case.

Re: 11 February 2007 meet

Seriously.... if you are coming from the NORTH and plan on driving through the Forest of Dean to get there - don't bother. Its got some major snow going on....

M4 london lot should be OK

Re: 11 February 2007 meet

Guys...

sorry.. but I'm gonna have to skip this one.... loaded up with cold, and my ears are all yucky and gluey... I couldn't even clear them at the bottom of the pool last night, and it's only 9 foot!!!!

Have fun in the chilly depths, and I'll see you at the next one !

Love n stuff

Cant make Sunday

I am sorry for the late notice and hope that someone is reading this. I am unable to make Sunday as I am gradually getting more and more blocked up.

Typical as the whole of January and start of February I was the equalisation king and now my ears are a noisy mess.

Appologies

David Morgan

Re: 11 February 2007 meet

Note to self: When diving in water of about 7 degrees - remember to bring gloves!!!

Chuffed with my new PB, specially considering the conditions. Good to see everyone. Roll on the next one...

Re: 11 February 2007 meet

Thanks everyone - and respect!
The cold on the way down did 'grip' at you a bit... owch, but was a fun day and the sun shone.
The new booms are wicked too. Gloves and 7mm sox are the answer!

Re: 11 February 2007 meet

Was a good day, but I havent felt that uncomfortable for a long time.

Cold is an understatement, Face, hand, Feet(new socks) were all good, but the instant I got in the water it was an embrace of cold around my torso, brrr.......

Am just about warm now, next time will be toasty.

Ta to all

Tim
