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

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.
Cheers

Live for today as tomorrow may never come
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........
Nope, the strays of Keiss are safe. Bless 'em.
I was shooting a neighbour.
We used to take the cars around past the sewage works and kit up by leaning on the low wall at the bottom of the first houses you come to. Then we'd scramble down the hill and get into the water there. It's difficult to describe exactly where as there isn't a definite marker...I never even knew there was a war memorial up there!
Depth is around 15m IIRC, but all that is left of the ship itself is the boiler and a couple of lumps of machinery, the hulls never last long up here as they get smashed to bits. I've only dived it in the winter, so not many fishies about...but worth a shot, methinks.
