Guest Strick Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 I'm not sure how well Basking Sharks or Thresher Sharks do in fresh water but some sharks, Bull Sharks for example, tolerate it very well and even thrive. In South Africa Bull Sharks are found many miles inland in the Breede River in South Africa. Nobody said the sharks survive very long in Loch Ness, hence the scarcity of monster sightings.

Yes a lot of sharks are found waaaaay up river (even great whites have been known to). There was a recent (I think) video of a few bull sharks doing quite well in a golf course lake after a flood (You'd take a drop tho' yeah? Rather than play it where it lies )
Guest Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I'll just wait until the BFF annual squatch conference has travelled from London, to Manchester, to Birmingham etc, before it finally comes up north (either that or until I'm not really skint)

Guest Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Hi all, im the newbie on the block but FYI I would be very much up for a meet up. How about we do it in regions to begin with to make it easier for travel? I'm in the north east if anyone else is near?
Guest Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 #1 Bruce, you get a +1 for your post with you holding that fish... not for the fish, but because you're wearing a NY Yankee's hat ! #2 I just noticed this thread, because Kezra "bumped" it. Welcome to the BFF Kezra, its great to see another county heard from, from our friends "over there". I dont know about meeting in the UK, but if any of you fine folks ever find yourself across the pond, and near the NYC/Hudson Valley area, I'd sure get a kick out of meeting up for a pint or three.... I've often wondered about proposing the same kind of idea here in the States, but the somewhat ridiculous distances involved between most members, makes it seem nearly impossible to realize. If and when you do (UK meet up), be sure to take some pictures and share with us here ! -Art-
Guest Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Anyone thought more about making this happen?
Guest Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 hmmmm. I'm near the North East. and in London/ Watford this weekend at a 50th Birthday Party.
dopelyrics Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 I'm Manchester, so Midlands (Birmingham, perhaps) would suit best if you aren't all going to come to here! Cheers. Lee
Guest Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Whats too far north for you? We've got two in the area up here so far that are up for it...
Guest Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Suggest Midlands also - I'm Bristol-based but happy to travel 1.5 hrs for an evening get-together. Any more than that and it will just have to be regional get-togethers as I can't see many doing a long round trip after work. I suspect the majority of the UK contingent are London-based.
Guest Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Maybe we should do it in regions first, meet up in smaller groups get it off the ground and then come together for a big UK meet thereafter...? Otherwise we could just go round in circles like a meeting of the Peoples Front of Judea; forever talking about it but never actually doing it. Going to try and get a north east meet happening soon but anyone from other regions is welc9me to come if they would like. What about folk north of the border? Could you make it to Newcastle say?

dopelyrics Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 I could do further north or even the SW or SE. Quite flexible really. Thanks. Lee
Guest Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Fab Lee, if you could make it to Newcastle that would make us 3 for the meet so far. Great stuff. Keep u posted.
