Two friends and a video

I was delighted to be joined by two friends from the Colchester Buddhist Centre on Saturday; Anavajja and Maggie, who had come to Brightlingsea for a socially distance walk and to see if there were any “polar bears” to be spotted!

Anavajja kindly filmed much on the swim on her phone so I hope to be able to process the footage and share it on the videos page of this website.

It was a bright and windy day with water temperature of 7.5 degrees.

This swim also completed the 5,000m total distance for the challenge, so I will now by increasing this - purely as a personal challenge - to 10,000m for the five months of the challenge. As the water temperature and in particular there air temperature drops during the next couple of months swimming as often will be more challenging.
