MM,
First scuba dive at Devils Bridge Kirby Lunsdale? Surely not, every time I've been there (usually a pit stop and cuppa break on a ride /drive out) although very inviting at the height of summer, the river was usually so low you might have been able too easily wade across with just your trouser legs rolled up. to around your knees. Must have been much higher back then or in flood? Sounds like fond memories.
