I have a 10 meter fibreglass pole for sticking antennas on but I’ve often use them for sticking a mobile wireless hotspot with a SIM card in. Maybe that is all you need.
Jeeesus, how terrifying! So glad everything worked out OK. When my eldest was 4, we were with friends in Brittany, and found an incredible little beach where the waves tore in off the Atlantic. We spent a couple of very fun hours – us 5 adults an 4 kids, none of them older than 9 – throwing ourselves into the sea and enjoying being washing-machined about by the waves, totally out of control (most of the time we'd emerge with trunks pulled down to our ankles). In hindsight, it was a very dumb thing to do, and there's been many times since when I've thanked my lucky stars that none of us was drowned that day.
I'm very jealous of your pole. I've got a feeling that if I stuck my phone on the end of that, I could probably get a mobile signal at our house (I can get one if I walk about 200m up the road, where it's a little bit higher. Stick a hotspot on it, and I could probably stop paying Elon Musk £75 a month for our Internet connection 😁
oh no, how scary! I'm glad that everyone is okay :)
Eek!! Phew. So glad that she is safe. Brave girl. *Hugs you*
Correct on the brave. I’m very proud of her.
How completely terrifying! I’m so glad you’d had that conversation. Xx
Me too. I’ve also started to see news stories in the area where things didn’t turn out quite so good. :-/
Yep :( one of the horrors of summer. Especially the number of young men who die. Two boys drowned in the river near us, one trying to rescue the other
Yes, I had no idea how common it was.
So glad your daughter is safe. I would have been losing it big time I think.
I was certainly frantic. And glad I didn't focus on the worst.
Glad to read that you and your daughter got out of that situation ok. Must have been terrifying.
It was certainly that.
Thanks for the comment, Dan,
