Well at the moment just save your gas and walk around the car park looking at them, coz they certainly ain't in the water.

I think one is going on the 10-12 metre shelf, and the other 2 on the bottom of the shallow area, so approx 24-26 metres, or at least that's what I was told.

and when?

Dec 17th apparently, from the pop up that I just saw on this page.

It wasn't too bad, my hands were cold while at 60 metres, but in the end we did a total run time of 90 minutes, and it would have been no hardship to do another half hour or so.

Having said that when you do your course it will have got colder in the shallow area too.

you'll have no chance to realise you're cold if you're on a course with Mark Powell

I'm not with Mark. But I expect the instructor i am going to be with will be as tough though.

Would there be any interest in having one the week after the Stoney event, but this time at the NDAC. So the dates for this would be the 19/20 Jan 2008.

Anyone interested

NDAC, Chepstow 19/20 Jan. Quite possibly Will have to commit closer to the time but I'll add as a "tentative"
