Here at Wavelength we've been doing our own bit of blue sky thinking recently, day dreaming about surf trips we've always wanted to do, talking about projects that are verging on impossible, but full of adventure. Tim Nunn is just about to disappear off and make his own vapor trail as he begins an amazing new project that will bring Wavelength readers sights and stories about surfing that have not been seen before. For me, I am already knee deep in another new project for the mag that started off as a little office debate... how many British counties actually have surfable waves? The new issue has gone to print, and as well as some mental photo gold and some mad stories about british surfers, there is the first installment of "County Limits: A quest to score every surfable county in Britain." In the end, with a deadline looming, I managed to score 2 counties, which I figure leaves me about 48 potentially surfable counties to try and score over the next run of issues in the Length. Trouble is, those 2 counties were the 'easy' ones. 
So much for blue sky thinking, I've now got a grey cloud of stress hanging over me, looking at the charts and hoping something comes up somewhere in the UK before the next issue. Any tip offs, local knowledge or chart predictions would be gratefully received. Check out the blog I've set up for the project here, watch me frantically try and get waves in places like Cheshire, and feel free to offer a helping hand... it'll be good for your karma.
