Especially if you look forwards as you hit the water, it feels like being punched and you think your eyes are going to come out

This thread is giving me a lot of confidence

I really must give it a try! - and remember to pick up my eyeballs afterwards

Hit with the top of the head. Just imagine you're glaswegian.

Good point, I often ask myself how I feel so at home on a bike, yet I cant go in supermarkets/shopping centres and feel comfortable

And I stand and watch these little kids running over the cliff and wish I had the bottle.

Suggestions?

walsall baths is similar, i know what you mean
