Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm an open water lifeguard and did rescue board training this morning at the lake where I work. I'm still buzzing! I'm a small creature, so I learnt from an early age about the benefits of leverage and it seems to work - with a few wobbles. We did take it v seriously but it was also great fun. Happy squirrel.

Does sound fun. I'm going to do an FSRT course when I can find one that works with work.

We have an easterly breeze today which I now know leads to a swell and chop. I may have to put my big-girl pants on for a swim today!

QP and I did a walk today and it was very humid. The car park was beside Loch Maree so I had a dip when we finished.

Great to meet 1step2far today on the pier. Thanks for saying hello (‘hey, are you a Fetchie?’), and hope you had a good swim :-)
