And on the bonus side…a spare radio aerial.
Well, in that post, definitely were.
Hibernating for over a year and a half? Um, right.
Ok, if you say so.
😮 But i bet you will still look and hope and wish next time go go near Loch Ness 😮
Nah, its connected to the sea [/sarcasm] so all I need to do is pop down to the shore and have a gaze there…;o)
Ahem. Were. Were friends and colleagues…
Gosh, you must be a cheap date…;o)
If it can slither/climb like a snake it can go anywhere,or maybe small wings enough to flap about obstacles 🙂
There was one report that said it had been seen crawling back into the water across the road on the east-side of the Loch.
So you don’t think something could swim up/down the lock system.
Fish, yes. Something that wasn’t a fish and was larger than a fish…no.
The canal would be difficult to transverse without being seen due to the seven locks between the loch and the sea, and the creature would need to be very patient and determined, knowing what it needed to do and when to makes its move.
The river would also be difficult; it is shallow along most of its length, knee deep in the low season at its deepest, and there are also two weirs to navigate. Salmon can get through since the fish channels were designed for their transit, but a larger ‘monster’ whose head might be the size of a salmon (I mean, who knows?) would have great difficulty.
But its dead – there hasn’t been a reported sighting of Nessie for 18 months… http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-26081992
Yeah, but he asked…
Bit over the top with riding the red, Moggy.
And I got it last night when opening this particular thread…
But little fish have of habit growing in to very large fish, beluga sturgeon at 15ft long would get your attention don’t you think.
Granted, but it is not going to make a habit of annually negotiating the locks/fish runs/weirs, is it.
Imagine something like a large snake ,only needs to eat once every blue moon then they hide away to digest it ,also being cold blooded their metabolism can pretty much shut down.
And they do like to breathe that air, don’t they. Mmm-mmm! Which it couldn’t do if it was hibernating at the bottom of bleedin’ Loch Ness! That is not taking into account what Mogs said about the size of the meal it would need before hand, either…
This is a true story guys…
So where was your hook? Was it 85ft down, or was it bobbing around a bit shallower? Just because the bottom was 85ft it doesn’t necessarily follow that the hook was also at that depth.
It could have been a nuclear Gannet…;o)
It was just the detonator that went off, I believe.
“And that’s the furthest I stretched my chewing gum, pater…”
But did you eat him?
“So I can have all this bit now, and the rest on your coronation, yah?”
