Annual Christmas dive
To start the year we completed our celebratory 50th anniversary dive at Ecclestone Delph so it seemed right to have come full circle and have our annual Christmas dive at the same venue (not withstanding the fact that we do this every year).
A total of 20 signed up for the meal but only a hardy 5 came along for the dive.
At 10:30 the first group of three entered the water followed by the remaining two. The usual route was followed past the van, the ack ack gun, the plane, over the boat and up the bank behind the boat. We then circled round to past the entrance to the armoured car and exited. Whilst the water wasn’t as cold as expected and he dry suits worked, the cup of tea from Ian Fletcher and the flap jacks from Jen Scarsbrook were most welcome.
Once we were all changed and ready the convoy headed off to the Plough at Euxton for lunch.
The staff and food were exactly what was needed and rounded off a good dive and social event. It was great to see so many people wanting to finish the year together.
Same time same place next year?
