80 Bold & Beautiful swimmers were glad they got up early this morning, as they would have witnessed the most spectacular dawn sky as they made their way to our favourite corner of the world. 10 brave swimmers set off at 6.10 am for the last official Bolderdash swim of Summer with Inez and Drinky...

108 Bold and Beautiful swimmers enjoyed slightly less chop today with still some fairly big waves hammering us as we entered the water but nothing so scary (for me at least)!
