Lisa & Yazzy, glad to see you on board!

Woohoo - I was just chatting with Gizmo about how much I was looking forward to this trip now, I'm sure as always it'll be a cracking do with the obligatory monster BBQ and slightly scary bonfire afterwards

I can assure you there will not be a repeat appearance of the cups and the torch this year!

I am glad YD have managed to fill the spaces as I was thinking the skipper was a bit cheeky asking about filling the spare places given that he had 22 people for the day anyway.

I hope the shines as I will be lounging on the beach

You wish.

We've had our week of summer down here already. It's Autumn now.

Might as well stay in not so Manchester then

Just in case anyone missed it, planned ropes off on both days is 8:30 first trip, 1:30 2nd trip.

No you won't....

You'll be enjoying a shore dive!

Those times are fine by me. Given that this has always been advertised as a two run dive trip, it seemed obvious to me that we weren't going to be allowed to dive for as long as we liked. Presumably there are going to be people on the second trip who've got to travel a reasonable distance, so they're not going to want to come back in too late. I'm only going to Newquay Sunday, so I'm not bothered either way.

Thanks for organising this Simon. You do seem to have had to put up with more than your fair share of complaining on here. Is it any wonder that people give up organising trips? I know I've felt like giving on it before.

Just to be clear Jason - it wasn't always a two run dive trip. In the first instance it was only the single boat. The second run was added later.

Simon and I are cool on this, so it doesn't need any more saying.
