HOW DEEP CAN A DIESEL SERIES GO IN WATER
The Fat Controller:
when do we sink or swim :?: have you found the most suitable pond yet
Miniman:
Looks like The Boathouse, Merseyside is a NO GO. They say there will be enviromental issues. So still looking. Its probably a good thing as saltwater and aluminium is a bad mix. Cheers for the info tho. So still looking.
clbarclay:
Have you tried looking for old gravil pits, when abandoned they flood though not to be too deep varying from waist depth to around 2m with smooth flat bottoms. (also they aren't salt water)
If your lucky you might find one that is suitable, though I wouldn't be suprised if enviromental issues are a problem
Aside from permission, the only problem I can think of is location, gravel pits only appear where there is sufficient gravel to justify quarrying it.
Miniman:
Call me stupid but what is a gravel pit ?
clbarclay:
Gravel pits are (or was most pits are know dissused and flooded) where gravel has be open cast quarred. Holes dug in the ground where the gravel is removed. Posh drive ways have to come from somewhere.
Once most of the gravel is removed it is no longer financialy viable to remove any more so the pit is just left, whalst they go and dig else where.
Most of the bigger ones are used for water sports like the one in the link below.
