... that was probably a little known condition called "frostbite of the eyeball"... Grafham is after all, the coldest place on this planet this side of the artic circle !

Nope everything written about Grafham is true, including the food, I first broke one of my teeth trying to eat something at Grafham, and in the winter of 78-9 we were breaking the ice to get on the water and having to tactically plan you beats according to the ice flows..

It's always been a bit of a soulless place imv.

I can forgive the cold, I can even forgive the fact that you have to walk to the Wheatsheaf for a) a decent pint and b) to get served at 15 years old during 420 winter training; but crap coffee and green sausages... no, no thanks; better the devil you know and stick with Rutland / Datchet for a nut freezing session.

My brother in law will be there in a Musto Skiff - look out for a quite tall, very wet person called Andy... dunno his boat No, I'm afraid.

I have heard of "Puff Daddy" as well as "P Diddy"........are they the same person then? Well I never!
