Yeah there is an alarm in case there is a Chlorine leak from the treatment works! Sounds like that could be messy!

And Stuart you are right Bala is BLOODY cold! horrible in fact in winter

Ah, I guess they use it at the treatment works. Would explain why upwind is the place to get to.

Grafham, Coldest? You are kidding. Halifax SC is not only 150 mile further north, but its over a 1000' higher and a lot windier. Compared to that, Grafham is a mild, nay, balmy beach!

Keilder can be a bit chilly as well - but at least when you finish and get ashore, the welcome in the clubhouse is warm - unlike at Grafham  - maybe that's what you guys were meaning!

Largs - anyone at the Yoof Nationals in about 1991 will recall the chill that came in between races as the win vanished......

But that is not the same sound as the hooter that says the lake is closed. 

Not looking very windy at the moment .  Just off the Grafham...
