Trying UK Diving

[Rage]

Oh wait, you will be!

Having said that Wraysbury sounds like a good place to work on you buoyancy, we good always see if we could devise some games to help practice.

Though shallow water is great for bouyancy training... Imperfect bouyancy and bad(?) finning = can't see jack in Wraysbury.

The local club I visit provide neutrally bouyant hoola hoops (during pools sessions), which hang at different depths. The idea is to swim though the hoop without touching it.

Guys, I may not be able to make it on Saturday ;-0 , at least not for diving, though I'll be up for meeting you afterwards and hearing how much fun you had!

Sadly I've got a sore throat, headache and bad taste in my mouth, and the :doctor: has given me antibiotics for sinusitis :sneeze:. The course is only 3 days, so I may be feeling ok by Saturday *fingers crossed*, but he also said no exercise for one - two weeks, as it's viral. I'm guessing he probably counts diving in cold water as being in the "bad idea" category.

NOT happy

I'll see how I'm feeling Friday night, if the head stuff is all cleared up I may come and do one or two dives, otherwise, name the pub!

Cos it sounds like 'diving withdrawl symptoms' to me... :loopy:

Cheer up lass! :alright: Whatever happens we'll see you Sat.

Get well soon!

Hope you feel better Clootie, it would be good to meet up, but if not we'll see you at the pub.

So whats the plan? are we meeting at 9:30 or so? how will we recognise each other and how many are going?

 

[Conor]

I think the plan is to arrive around 10:15 at wraysbury. I'll PM my mobile to all who are still going tomorrow afternoon.

So far I think it is
Rage
Rage Driver not buddy
Rage Buddy ?
TX
Me
Clootie ? depending on health etc.

I have also mentioned it to a couple of other people but don't know if we'll get any takers.

Someone has to suggest a pub for the re-hydration

Time is about right. Never driven to Wraysbury direct so...

There has to be a pub down the road in Wraysbury village!

'Moblie' number to be PM'ed...

TX100 - Just come up to the guy who gets mistaken for a Korean all the time and say 'G'day mate'...

might i reccomend the perciverence, its a rather nice pub with a beer garden for nice days, and its about 100 yards from wraysbury (opposite direction to train station)
in regards to the drive, seemed quick enough, we came down the A3 and it was a quick sprint around the M25
took no more than an hour from streatham pool to wraysbury

 

[Rage]

Thanks for that.

Planning on comming round the A406 then A30.

Looks like I'll be staying at Travel Lodge Nuneaton on the 2nd.
