Hi. I'm based in Cardiff but have to go up to Edinburgh this w/e to see
relatives. Wondering what the conditions are like at St Abbs at the moment.

Here it's been pissing with rain for weeks and blowing a gale most days.
'Spose there is a slim chance that St Abbs has been sheltered from all this,
and the water is clear and not covered in foam flecked bumps??? Please?

Any potential for a decent dive on Saturday within easy striking distance of
Edinburgh?

thanks,

M.

I've been here (Edinburgh) for the last couple of days working, and
popped down to the beach last night for a stroll. Gale force winds and a
bay full of white horses, even in the Forth. Even if it flattens in the
next couple of days the viz will be dead.

About 2 hours drive over to the lochs, Loch Long and Loch Fyne are good
this time of year, and tend not to get too stirred up.

OK, thanks guys. I knew it was a long shot! Unfortunately we don't have
time to go through to the West Coast sea lochs. I'll take my walking gear
instead. :o(

Cheers,
