Howzit and Ni Hao from Hong Kong This is a late but dedicated short blog as we make our way home from the UK. I managed a few river swims, temperature circa 11/12 C. What a fun bunch these wild swimmers are. First swim was a stretch of the Thames at Runnymede. This was after...

Happy Monday guys! The sunshine was out this morning & the water is finally warming up at a lovely 18.3. A massive improvement on the frozen 14.9 we had last week. Vis is still not amazing, but it’s also improving.   Nothing overly exciting spotted today, except for an appearance from A Team legends Chris...

A glorious morning above the water but quite a washing machine in. Lovely temperature though at 18.6. Lainey enjoyed her dip.

After reading Tilly’s blog yesterday I was hoping for calmer seas today, alas it was even worse!   Temperature is down a smidge at 17.4 and viz seemed to be irrelevant as it was so rough there was nothing to report. Henrietta,  Sally and Marco ready to welcome any newbies,  and warn them re conditions, ...

Hey guys What a horrible day! Grey, cold, raining and windy. The water was apparently 17.6 but felt freezing. Some big messy sets coming though & not great water quality. I hate to say it, but it did feel sharky. Not many people knocking around this morning either, I’m assuming it’s because they wanted to...
