UK Novices trip II (oop north) - 22nd & 23rd OCT 2005

[Helen F H]

Following the weekend at abbs and a chat with Patrick and PM'ing a few people it was suggested we run another Novices trip but this time oop north. This will allow people who are pretty new to UK diving from boats to not get worried about looking a bit lost.

I am looking for any other experienced divers to help me with this, plus anyone who feels confident enough to go in with an inexperienced diver. All dives will be between 10 - 20m and easy.

Trip will be run during October at St Abbs 22nd & 23rd October.

Apologies for it being late in the season, but September is packed out for me.

Accoms we can sort out a bit closer to the time, but i suggest hiring two caravans each sleeping 6.
Diving will cost will be £20 per diver per day. Accoms to be arranged so prices to be sorted out.

Any questions, no matter how daft, please just PM them to me.

[Helen F H]

Blondie it is just north of the Scottish Border! So a long way is the answer

Should be able to sort dates out by tomorrow night. Sometimes i really do think i need to dye my hair brown or something when i organise this kind of thing.....

As a rough thing we are looking at October....ish. If the weather is pants we get drunk for a weekend.
