side-mount capernwray----from dir helmets thread

[malcolm smith]

Scoff has very kindly offered to show the ins and outs of his side-mount system designed for cave diving. Some of us are very familiar with the dir style system for open water and the larger caves. This is a great chance to see the system evolved for smaller caves.
Capernwray is a handy venue, poor dark vis, and other divers kicking your head to simulate contact with the cave roof :-)
I would love to meet up, have a chat, and see and have a go with a properly put together harness----a few post dive beers are always good too!
Does anyone else fancy it-----Scoff has asked for a few dates.
I would be game for 22nd November, 29th November, 6th December----or at present, any time in January or February, plus practically any Tuesday.

This follows on from the thread on helmets on the dir page.

Cheers all, Malcolm.

29 November or 6 December would suit me at the moment.

Looking forward to trying a sidemount harness!

Looks like I'm off to Tenerife on my own then!

Aaah.  Temporary derangement getting in there again.  Sorry Jay.

Besides, you'd have to have your cylinders the right way up if you went for sidemounts

<font color='#008080'>Bob,

29 Nov could be interesting.. that is the weekend when GUE are holding their DIR workshops at Capernwray. Maybe we can get Andrew G and Andy K to try the sidemount rig too &nbsp; &nbsp;

Take care

I'll do either date. Some of you can see my pygmy attempt at a sidemount rig.

Digs.

29 Nov. sounds promising then. &nbsp;I'll put it in my diary. &nbsp;It would be good to coincide with the GUE classes up there.

[Scoff]

So there I am looking at the helmets post to see if there are any takers for the sidemount meet....no.

Then I notice you lot have all moved here.

Must be scared of the DIR thought police !

Anyway, just checked the diary and 29th November is good for me. So that's a firm fixture.

Best make sure everything's in top shape for then. I might even give my helmet a polish or two (fnah-fnah)!

I'll keep my eye out for arrangements re: times, where at Capernwray to meet, etc. nearer the date.

And now back to lurking....

Cheers
