Great images, Erika!
Here's one of Gus becoming reacquainted with the steering wheel a minibus that he previously "parked" in Loch Leven on another club trip (it's easy to do)...

Hi all,
I'm in the process of naming and sorting all my photos so I can post them here. Does anyone know who's in the water with Charlie at Puffin in this pic? I can't figure out how to post the pic on here (HELP!) so I put it on photobucket here: http://i161.photobucket.com/album.../Mid-Semester%20Trip/P4020021.jpg If someone could tell me how to put pics up, I'd be absolutely thrilled. Yes, I know I've done it before but I'm having one of those moments. Max |

Hey Max,
Ok what you need to do is select PostReply not quick reply and at the bottom on the white box that you can type in there is a link in blue saying "Attach File" click on it and you should be prompted with a window giving you the option to search your hard drive for photos. Any photos that you upload have to be 1MB or less though. Hope this helps if not contact Charlie, he's the man with all the answers. Erika |

Ah, they're finally up. I didn't put them on SUSA Online but on my Photobucket page. Sorry Euan.
You can see them in all their glory here (click on the pics to enlarge and the tumbnails to browse): http://s161.photobucket.com/album...eighandClareatFurnaceTeaRooms.jpg For those that weren't there, we had an absolutely AWESOME week, the highlight of which was my finishing my training! Well, the highlight for me anyway. The first day we met up with ScotSAC and a few other Unis for a group training at Furnace Tea Rooms. The weather was great (setting a trend for most of the rest of the week) but ScotSAC didn't have any instructors for us. Ooops. It just meant that we got to overwork Sam and Dot, our only two instructors for four trainees. They deserve all the thanks we can heap on them for managing as well as they did. It was a first dive for three of the four trainees that day: Vasilis, Clare, and Leigh. I'll let them tell you their first impressions, though I certainly think my dives could have been better. The vis was absolutely abysmal, bordering on nil. Plus, on my first dive, Sam was overweighted and the shoulder dump on my drysuit was freeflowing. Eeek! I spent the second half of the dive using my BCD for bouyancy as we followed a line along the bottom to keep from getting sepparated. We did manage to do a shared ascent and finish the dive. Oh well, that's one that gets put down to experience. The second dive was a bit better with another shared ascent and lots of critters to harass.
That night we met up with Charlie, Sarah, and the McGurklets at the chalets. The facilites there were nice with hoses and drying rooms for kit, washers and dryers for clothes, and a pub and beds for tired divers. Thanks to Sam, much of the week's evening entertainment consisted of Father Ted and Family Guy episodes. The good life. Some of the best dives of the week were at the Steps at Loch Creran, North of Oban. The site is a small bay with a large ridge of rock on one side and a smaller reef of boulders on the other. The middle was a wonderfully flat lunar landscape. Sarah and I got to know this bit very well when following Gus on our night dive, right Gus?  On our first dive out Charlie and I saw two Thornback rays, as well as a very large plumose anemone, and multitudes of moon jellies. It was probably some of the coldest diving of the week but also some of the greatest visibility apart from when you're busy getting lost in a cloud of sediment when failing at your compass course. I, Max, can confirm for this. We did manage to do lots of training and playing there. Indeed, on one of our last dives there, Frazer rescued me to complete his training. The young McGurks amused themselves for a lot the time on the first day lighting a fire, letting it go out, then trying to restart it. Awesome dive site, if only there were more in the way of facilities.
Here ends Part 1. More to follow... Max |

Chuck let his kids start a fire?  
No way. If they had started a fire I would have heard the "joooohn! " in Stirling.

| Sarah |
Actually Shug I started it.
