Capernwray in the cold

It was a frosty start for a small group of us at Capernwray today, but at least it was quiet there with an almost empty carpark.
At least the only ice was on the ground, making it fun to trying to kit up, buddies were needed to stop feet from sliding as you stood up.
Jack and Neil W went off on their own for dive 1 leaving Andy W, myself and Charlie to help Smudge with the 2 students, Mike and Pete, Charlie being photographer on that dive. I just managed a couple of photos of buddy Pete Mann during his dry suit dive.

Pete decided not to carry on to dive 2 so we managed to go round in one group although 4 of us stayed in a little longer, over 40 mins, before the cold got the better of us.

The new camera on the first 2m training platform amused us and the fish, and Frosty the snowman who stands at the opposite end to the camera. The video is played in the cafe which was entertaing viewing over lunch. Sammy has photos from the dry and warm end of the camera.

So here are some photos, mostly from my second dive...
