Bombs Away!!

Was out n about earlier and passed a Bomb Disposal team heading North, I know these are pretty regular up here. Often go to Scrabster I believe.

Anyone any clues as what they are doing, I guess training or are there mountains of UXB's around these parts.

We saw the convoy as we left Tesco Wick. It turned onto the Groats Road. I expect we will find out about it soon.

The bomb disposal team regularly dive on the wreck of the Isleford in Wick Bay. She was a munitions ship that sank in Jan 1942. In the past shells used to get washed up on the North Head.
Obviously they are on a different mission today as Wick bay is white water in the storm thats raging!!!!

Heard a very loud bang in the Keiss area about 5pm........

I've dived the Isleford a couple of times, funnily enough we were just talking about it yesterday. There's still a lot of solid iron shellheads down there and beeg storms rearrange the seabed and expose more munitions from time to time. Interesting dive.

Nah, they were already North of there. Not even those guys haven't the bottle to hang around there. I could see there fear & sweat on their faces still, they looked relieved they made it through alive!!
