I don't really mind which day to be honest. As long as the I can find a hat that doesn't fall apart after ten seconds like last year.![]()
Being as its cold and wet I've been pondering winter...
I'm getting back into running as my neck is finally getting sorted so I've entered a couple of races around christmas (one is my fav Evilprofessor.co.uk » Blog Archive » Merthyr Mawr Christmas Pudding Challenge 10k 2007). So it got me thinking... what else is there to do but plan the 'Scuba Santa Dives 2008'!
For those of you who missed it last year here's a report: Evilprofessor.co.uk » Blog Archive » Santa Dives - Vobster Quay 2007
I've applied to the guiness book of records again this year - was denied last year, possibly due to late application and no history of event. This year given the BBC coverage and the event 'history' we might have more of a chance.
So anyway, here's the first post about the event simply to gather consensus on which day the event will be held.
Plan is to have it at Vobster again, as Tim was great last year, but I'll have to have to chat to confirm that this is ok with him.
Event to be held on Saturday 20th December 2008

"The sea does not belong to despots. Upon its surface men can still exercise unjust laws,fight,tear one another to pieces,and be carried away with terrestrial horrors.But at thirty feet below its level, their reign ceases, their influence is quenched and their power disappears.Ah! sir,live-live in the bosom of the waters!.There only is independence! There I recognise no masters! There I am free!" Capt. Nemo 20,000 leagues under the sea

Subject to the dive going ok this Sunday I'd consider popping along to this! However can only do the Saturday. Mini-Dazs arrives back from her FOURTH holiday this year on the Sunday so ought to be around to greet her! She's skiing this time!![]()
