Malt 379 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Wouldn't catch me in there, I don't trust lake water after spending all my life on the coast.. It's too still for my liking, I always think its up to something! O.M.G Malt isan't that strange i'm the same as you, i live by the coast but water in a deep lake is something very different is't got an erie presents about it. I don't know what is, it almost like something primal I can't quite put my finger on! Water should move about and pay you as little attention as possible, it shouldn't just lie there eyeing you up like something about to pounce! :laugh: you make out its like a fecking croc :laugh: May as well be mate, water will kill you just as dead if you don't respect it! Like I've said, I've grown up in and around the sea and there are not many large expanses of inland water anywhere near here here. I know the sea, but deep, still inland water with no tide is fecking alien to me and just don't seem right and I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable going for a dip in it..

skycat 6,173 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Lochs in scotland are all tranquil. However looking down on one, you can see the pebble shore. Then about 15 yards out sheer darkness. I can't swim a stroke, butvim Drawn to water like a pigeon on a chip. I've taken some f*****g chances on water have no fear of it whatsover. I'd really like to live by the sea one day. Not wishing to be funny: but how can you be drawn to the water if you can't swim? What I mean is ... surely you wouldn't walk out into water out of your depth? Or is it a bit like someone wanting to jump off a great height: drawn to do it even though they know it will kill them? Like, 'hey man, I can fly!!' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Don't know I just love open water . I've been on a daft are boat and nearly got hit by. Caledonian mcbrayne ferry lol I've sawed 45 gallon drums in half and used it as a raft for a laugh. If I fell in I'd drown, no two ways about it, but for some reason I can't explain I gave no fear of it. Quite the opposite in fact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 No malt if you want to impress us, get in the middle of loch ness f**k that I know how deep it is in the middle, It'd be bad enough in a boat! It looks hanging, all brown with peat.. I was bad enough stood on the shore skimming stones with the kids there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) I grew up swimming in lakes so dark you couldn't see your hands under the water .... biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig, massive lakes. When I was little I used to stand on the dock, staring down and wondering what could be lurking in there. But I swam anyway 'cause everyone else was Few years back when I was home for a visit I let my brother convince me to ride one of those inflatable rocket things behind his power boat, up at the cottage. He said he was going about 45mph when I finally flew off it. I remember, as I flew through the air, at that second before I hit the surface and plunged way down, thinking 'oh, this is going to be bad' I'm a good swimmer but the total darkness under there freaked me out. It seemed to take him ages and AGES to turn round and fetch me. I pretended to be calm but in truth I wonder how I managed to tread water with my legs folded up underneath me like that, so the monsters wouldn't grab my feet and pull me down Give me that over the sea any day tho - there's all kinds of crazy, hungry things in the sea Edited September 7, 2012 by lurchergrrl 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
