PORTLAND WINTER WARMERS

Imported post

In that case count me in

Only a couple of provisos. I don't have my own cylinder so I can only go if I can hire one there - is that going to be a problem? Also, what's the deal with the £75 all in package? Is that what we're all doing or will I need to sort that out myself?

Cheers,
Paul

Hey Frogkick you do realise that if l end up diving portland harbour in zery vis for about the 10th time l'll hold you responsible

However l've dived the Hood once in good vis and its really good.

Worst memory of Portland- staying in b&b 'IN A PUB' up the hill, at 2 am the landlord gives us the key and asks us to keep a slate and lock up when we go to bed!

Next morning at brecky the waitress asks what we want for brecky and l mutter (head in both hands) Asperin.

Now this is not big because l've then got to go and dive with my son of 14 with a feckin' hangover....doh..

However l blame the organiser, fancy putting me in a b&b in a PUB ?

Car sharing- l think it will be easier driving to Portland sat am rather than fri eve.
So either you come to Stanmore leave your car or we meet somewhere in on the M25/M3.

Or you take the bike l take the Disco with the gear and somewhere down the line we swap, l've still got my old crash helmet emblazoned with Triumph, Norton, BSA etc.
The leather doesn't fit anymore.

better if we meet at your place I think, at least we start off together. Talk about it a bit closer to the time yeah as I'll only forget what we have arranged.

Paul
you up for a share too, I'll come to yours, pick you up and descend en mass at Howards, nice and early wake the neighbours.

Petrol three ways and diving for £75, this is beginning to sound cheaper than Stoney and in the Sea. I'm beginning to like this plan a lot.

Phil
do you need a deposit or anything?

Bugger second time of posting.

Jan 10/11 plus Feb & Mar (see page 1).
30/35m at a guess majority rule, as we are AOW (I think) then I'd suggest that's the game plane, but Phils the organiser so talk to him.
Boat takes 12 I think (max) so assume there's a place for you.
Accom might be more difficult but I'm sure the girls will be overjoyed at the thought of me moving in with them, as the rest of the guys say I snore ( I dont its a dammned lie I tell you).

Be a blast if you can manage it, how about Mrs Abucks too

Hmm, was sure I'd already written this but yes I am up for a car share on the Saturday morning. I'm sure we can get all three of us and three sets of kit in my car

Or did you mean one of your two cars?

I thought I'd pick you up from St.Albans travel down to Howard's place then all rush off to Portland with our buckets and spades in his motor. He has a Discovery so we should be able to get the kit in there, if not you'll have to miss the trip    (only kidding)

That way we can split the cost between us and ruin Howards motor in the process. We'll set time a bit closer to the date if thats OK or I'll forget.
