Archived South Downs tour 20th Sept 2015

[t-tony]

I snorkelled very close to base.

I saw video of a shark in knee deep water off the Atlantic coast around Daytona last night on the news show I follow and there was a guy looking the other way paddling as it swam past him!! You could see its dorsal and top of the tail fin about 6 feet apart...............so big enough.
There have been numerous shark attacks in the shallow waters all down the Atlantic coast mainly from juvenile fish big enough to cause cuts and lacerations, mainly on kids.

Tony.

ps. Please note .......... there are no sharks in our pool.

I remember about 5-6 years ago there was a spate of shark attacks and then they "corrected" the situation, disappointing that they appear to have regressed...great..... thanks guys...not.....sorry gone a bit off thread here...so see you people on the 20th Sept if the sharks/ISIS don't get us.....gulp

P.S. @t-tony great segue btw Tony....impressed

Well after the positive feed back regarding the New Forest 2015, I have decided to be a mug and organise another run but this time along the Central Hampshire roads and then the South Downs.

The route attached is just for a taster, as it will have to be finalised and areas confirmed.
