Transfer thread for July/August 2022...

[Supersub6]

I'm going for global warming Sub, I've been swimming in the sea at Sheringham this afternoon and it was quite pleasant, almost warm. I might give it a go at Whitley Bay next time we're up there, can't be much different to the North Norfolk coast.

I'll have another tenner wager it is much different in Whitley Bay mon ami.

You could be right, and to be honest I'm in no hurry to find out. Sub would know, perhaps he could dip his toe in and find out for us.

North Sea at Whitley Bay is never going to be as warm as in Sheringham, however, the locals certainly do partake, even throughout the winter months.
It used to be very nice just off Blyth when they had the big power station there because it used to discharge very warm water and the seas was lovely, however, from time to time, it did attract some sharks.
Here endeth the review of the North Sea bathing conditions in an area which has Caribbean beaches and Arctic weather.

Bollox to Whitley Bay, you and BT are right Sub, sea temp at Sheringham today, 16.7, Whitley Bay 13.3. That is a big difference, my ventures into the briny will be restricted solely to Sheringham. In Whitley Bay I'll look for the municipal swimming pool, assuming that's heated, but they're hardy souls up there, it may not be.
