Ok but this coming weekend is gonna be too miserable!Let's see how the other one will be!Probably we're no gonna see anything (maybe we can get crab...maybe...) but I always enjoy to be in the water though so let's go!
 
I haven't been up that way for years, in the early 90's I think. I remember at the time travelling through Penistone nearby and someone had painted out the "t" on the village sign rofl Anyway, can you not dive in the reservoirs?
 
Hi I'm Italian and I live in Manchester. I think in the east side to find clear water we'd need to go norther!
I believe areas of Scotland often have clear water. Closer down, how about Yorkshire?
I reckon this area would be a look sometime:

Flamborough Head/Bridlington, Robin Hood's Bay, Filey, Whitby,...

I've seen some pics of those places in google earth and the water doesn't look clear but who knows!One day I'll try to have a look!

Ok Jonk, when you'll come back let me know so we can plan it! See you soon!
 
Spent a year in Whitby and the sea didn't get above the mud classification. Whilst it might have the best fish n chips in the UK the diving sucks. It gets better further north though
