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. |

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 |

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

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 |
