A raging sea in a very strong wind, the decision to swim a different route and a chance meeting in the car park with a very generous and kind fellow cold water enthusiast…

A cracking sea this afternoon…

A change of scenery for today’s 1,000m swim

One of my display boards before the swim…

Joined once more by Anne from the Winterfest team and a celebration of £2,000 raised…

Another 750m in a bumpy warm sea…

A gentle north westerly and a fairly flat sea enabled another 750m to add to my winter total…

First double figures sea temperature since 14th November…

One of those lonely late afternoon solitary swims…

Preparing to enter an interesting sea…..

After almost five months the last official milestone of the Arctic Polar Bear Challenge is reached….

Great support from Aksayapradipa…

A very chilly exit from the water today…

Some sunshine and a gentle breeze from the East combined for a very pleasant swim in 7.4 degrees…

A cold wind off the sea and an unexpected experience of the Afterdrop…

Stong wind and a lumpy sea to commence the last month of this winter’s challenge…

My first winter 10km to celebrate the Winterfest month of February…

A tough one, physically and psychologically but another 500m closer to 10km…

Perfect day for a swim in the winter sea…

Dark clouds, a favourable wind and the possibility of a 10km monthly milestone…
