A chilly 14.7 attracts a big turnout! 2


There was massive crowd of  six for the trip to the post this morning with Stephen, Dave, Dave, Bev Judy and me all braving the 14.7 C water.  But the real idiots prizes go to Ruth and Di (and I think Linda as well although I’m never there early enough to know for sure) who shun wetsuits in favour of the full wintry waters experience.  The offshore idiots headed to the post and back via Bev’s rock and the dirty cone before a well deserved coffee at Pasture. Brrrrr!!!

The pic was grabbed just after Judy and Dave had headed off towards the post. Thanks to Di for stepping in to add some glamour to the shot!

    Great photo Chris! And a great swim! Imagine all that vast water and only 9 idiots in the water and I run into one… Sorry mate, errr Lady…

    The water is perfect at the moment (now that my feet are finally warm). Definitely the highlight of my day!

    Great photo everyone ? and as always a terrific swim. Sorry I didn’t linger in the only warm bath spot on the swim , found near the island. It did take us all a long time to thaw out this morning. Good to see Dave Sanney back in the swim . Happy weekend everyone ??
