View Full Version : Farnes 15th dec
morning all,
there's a few YD'ers going out of the farnes on 15th dec - weather permitting on William Shiels Glad Tiding complete with lift n loo.
Just wanted to post a note on here - not an organised trip as such - more a case of contact the skipper 01665 721297.
Only 4 names down so far so we need a few more to make it a go-er.
hope to see some of you there

i dont know all these christmas parties :rolleyes: mind you at least yours are all nearer the time - 1 of mine was november and then the first week december which too be honest didnt feel very festive.... but good night outs all the same.:D
yeah my christmas nite is the friday before and going karting the next day, dont know how good/bad my karting will be!
as i'm so far south compared to normal going to make it a 2 day event :D with a YD curry night inbetween.
iain and jim from marine quest have a cpl of spaces for sunday 16th ropes off 0900 if anyones interested???
silver C4, red n yellow drysuit (u cant fail to see it) so come over n say hi
well an excellent the weekends diving was had.
Clear blue skies, water had a bit of swell and viz not much better than about 2 metres. Temp was a totally tropical 8 degress :eek:
Glad Tidings - Farnes we dived north wamses, plenty of seals in the water but far too quick to get any pics of. Found octopus, plenty of anemones and lovely scenic things :rolleyes:
Second dive was knivestone and plenty of rust to be found, several lobbies and again loads of life - well worth diving.
Shower and change and drive to south shields for a Yorkshire Divers drinks and curry evening.
Sunday morning the weather was much the same, with a slight increase in the swell.
First dive was the Glanmire - excellent wreck which i never tire of diving. Unfortunately theres a fair amount of ropes strewn across various points of it from abandones lobster pots and old shot lines so be careful especially in bad viz. Viz was about 3 or 4 metres but very dark.
Second dive was just out of eyemouth harbour sheltered from the swell on the morotavia and others wrecks - plenty of things to see and a good dive.
Really chuffed to get in the sea so late in the year with 4 dives that were well worth doing.
Many thanks to William at Glad Tidings and Iain of Marine Quest. Also my buddy and weekend hosts Graham & Alison.
L-R Sandie, Richard, Nick, Graham & Jo
