Ice Breaker - Dec 28th 2009

On 28th December 14 mad fools / enthusiastic divers (dependant on your opinion!!) headed to Wraysbury for the annual Christmas Ice Breaker. The water was a chilly 4 degrees but the visibility was reasonable. Great dives were had by all ..... let's face it, it was just great to get in the water and shake off the Crimbo excesses!Numerous cupos of tea / coffee were drunk, and then the group headed off to the local hostelry for re-hydration and a scrummy hot meal!
