You're mad!!!!

On the subject of camping, does anyone want mine and Martin's camping equipment? I know DK did, but he's clearing off to somewhere warm too. Let me know and I'll bring it with us.

Tent x 2 (5 man and a 3 man), gas camping cooker, kettle (I think!), lots of bits and pieces.

Hi Donna

I would but a need a bigger flat first - there is no more room under my bed for saltfree gear...

sorry!!

Sam
 
Hi - these are the names and depths I have for this weekend. If you didn't tell me a depth I guessed, if this is wrong please tell me as soon as poss.

Dave Morgan - 50m
Theo - 33m
Alex - 33m
Donna - 30m
Bryn - 30m
David T - 20m
Bryn - 25m

Sat am and Sunday am dives will be covered to these depths by the Angels. Sat pm dive will be max 25m, and used for technique practice and experimentation.

Still got some space if anyone else would like to come along but tell me soon

thanks
Sam
 
hey sam
when do you need to know for sure if i am coming? i know i said i would and i desperately want to, but i have nasty chest infection which is not showing any overt signs of getting better. there is still hope - it may clear up during the week. will let you know how i am fairing.sorry!...my tail and i are dying to get underwater...
alex
 
no worries Alex, just let me know when you can

get well soon!

I have a new Dolphin fin, like yours but with a hard blade and I can't wait to try it deep

Sam
 
sam think it would be unwise to come this weekend. lungs are crap officially have bronchitis (according to gp anyway) so perhaps lungs would find themselves even crapper at -30 plus metres in very cold quarry. yes?

sorry about that. and bryn sorry you will have to find another lunatic to camp!!
to the next one...bimey i havent dived for ages how shit is that...
well the christmas meet then.
alex
 
TOP day out with saltFree!

well today was TOP!!

Theo and Donna both got PBs and I did a good deep dive for me so very happy too!

Sun was out, bright and clear all day and yes it was cold but the quarry looked stunning and the viz was about 12m. We stayed in the water about 2 hours in all and did lots of training dives after our main deep attempts.

Results of the speed trial for a 20m sprint....

Theo "oh I can't read my computer" - unknown
David T "didn't have fins on so can't really compete" - unknown
Dave the Hardest - 25 seconds
Sam the Speediest (usually) - 25 seconds
Donna Gonzales Ryan - an incredible 24 seconds.. in bi fins with a dodgy leg!!

Thanks to the Angels - we had one each and seeing them down there always makes it easier - Martin, Mark Dean, Bex, Ben and Brad.... total stars as ever - glad we all made it down to you!

late lunch in the pub by the river was not so bad either...

wow.. more fun tomorrow, November Uk freediving rocks!

Sam xx
 
Wholeheartedly agree - the weekend was fab! Thanks to you all for making my last one (for a while anyway!) one to remember.

I slept like a log last night, content in the knowledge that at last I have dived the magical 30 as clean as a whistle! And I hold the speedy record, well for now anyway! I'll be training hard in Cyprus to retain that title....

See you all soon....make sure you visit us in Cyprus!
