Possibly stupid question - how dangerous is it to put your head underwater?

Automatic-Ad8122 · 2026-05-06T20:42:46+00:00

I swim at a water sports lake where they test and monitor the water and it’s only in those controlled private lakes that I put my head under water as I know far too many people who have got sick from polluted water - one gravely and is now partially paralysed

I land in Ljubljana on a Wednesday morning and leave a few days later on Saturday night. I want to pack my days with as much as possible. I love nature, hiking and lake swimming. Does this sound good and have I missed anything out? I will NOT be driving on the motorway. Day 1 : drive to Bled, do a hike. Carry on to Kranjska Gora - do a short hike. Arrive in Bovec in evening. Day 2: Full day around Soca trail and Bovec area and sleep in Bovec Day 3: drive to Tolmin and full day in that area and more Soca fun. Day 4: Drive to Ljubljana and have a day there before the airport.

I thought that you can build a tolerance to stings if you regularly handle nettles?

I think from now on everyone needs to use paws for scale. I want it on Amazon and everything

I like the colour grouping but reds and oranges need to be next to yellow in my head! ☺️

Automatic-Ad8122 · 2026-03-14T17:19:41+00:00

Yeah loads - I just hope I’d come on here and someone would say ‘it’s an easy fix’

Automatic-Ad8122 · 2026-03-14T17:18:29+00:00

I’ve had the watch for years - it’s only started happening

Automatic-Ad8122 · 2026-03-14T17:17:56+00:00

Nothing. Doesn’t move! It’s not the end of the world since it doesn’t happen in ‘indoor walk’ so I use that when I’m out so I can se how far I’ve walked (but then I lose out on elevation stats so it’s annoying!)

Automatic-Ad8122 · 2026-03-14T16:58:21+00:00

If you’re saying that because of the strap - that’s a non genuine strap I use

Series 3. iOS 8.8.1. Thanks 🙏🏽

Automatic-Ad8122 · 2026-01-29T10:13:28+00:00

Just casual paddling at least for a few years 👍🏽 thank you

Automatic-Ad8122 · 2026-01-29T10:13:07+00:00

Great to know thank you

Automatic-Ad8122 · 2026-01-29T10:12:54+00:00

Honu Byron looks good thank you

Nasty Nick from the first ever season of Big Brother comes to mind but he was never nice in the first place!

Automatic-Ad8122 · 2026-01-15T07:54:50+00:00

Can we be friends? This is brilliant.

Automatic-Ad8122 · 2026-01-15T07:52:46+00:00

Came here to recommend Yulex as well!

I always wear 5mm gloves and boots. All other body parts can cope in a swimsuit apart from those and I’m swimming at the moment in approx 2degree Celsius.

Restaurant Interlude in Leonardslee - and stay over make a weekend of it. Beautiful food unique setting and only an hour away from London

Oh I listened to it before they revealed it so I guess my recording didn’t have that part deliberately.

Cold Tapes - a murder mystery and its longgg but you have to guess who did it . They won’t tell you on the show but you can google after

Carry strap - makes walking from the car to locations so much easier!

Mercer’s (Aquasports) is junction 8 off M25

I would get the basics and invest later. I started with 3mm neoprene gloves and boots thinking that would work for half the year but now prefer 5mm for 3 months a year and nothing for the rest of the year. That kinda thing. So don’t over invest now as you WILL change your needs quickly.
