300 million gallons of raw or partially treated sewage discharged around the UK coastline each day and two million tonnes of toxic waste dumped into the sea every year.

Cheers bro 8) .

Here's a few more shots of the guys (not me)at East Runton 23/10/05. Due to the big north swell which brought these waves, the water was a bit less mingin' brown!
Incidently this year the water has stayed the warmest I can remember - we're still not wearing boots yet :shock: !
