hi guys, just found your videos, i hve just paused on the loch ness part, i have a story about that, but first, a little fact, if you took all the water from the UK, rivers lakes resevoirs, it would still not be enough to fill loch ness Back in the 80's, i went of a free adveture training coarse with the army, it was a 2 week coarse, i was 16 around your eldest sons age, We did rock climing, river canoe trip, went up ben nevis, , 24 hour survival on one of the islands in the lochs, with just a poncho as shelter, learning skin and clean and cook wild life that sort of thing, surf canoe trip, ab sailing of a bridge, you know the stuff Anyway, before we could do the canoe stuff, we had to prove we could swim, so they gave us the swim test in Loch Ness, , we had to swim 25m out to a canoe, dive under it and come back, The water was so cold it was hard to breath, to get your chest to expand, and all your muscles tightened, when we got out, our whole bodies hurt, like when you play in the snow and warm your hands up to quickly, we were jumping back in to stop warming up to quickly, the pain was unreal
