Thanks to Pauline Barker (Mama Bear) for organising this fantastic event and for my “finisher’s” certificate and other goodies….

Penultimate day….

Swimming with the big boys!!

A change of direction today…

A little light study before my swim today….

Not on my own today!!

It was a real sparkler today as I took to the water just for pleasure!

A quiet end to a great challenge…

A beautiful day in ‘paradise’ with a sea temperature that felt almost tropical….

Another little bit of unintended complacency…

A biting easterly wind and the inevitable return of the “After Drop”…

It’s not often that I feel something is not right but the sea was distinctly odd today….

The beginning of the end as my challenge enters the final month…

With Storm Eunice just 12 hours away I was pretty determined to get another swim in and complete the 3000m challenge for February…

Nailing the penultimate swim of February ahead of the arrival of Storm Dudley!

Bright, sunny, blustery but slightly warmer than recent days…

Thanks to Chris an actual shot of me in the water and also a short video of me entering the water……

Thanks to everyone for the £1346.25 collected in donations to date….

A bright start to month four…

First sub 5 degree swim of this winter and it was a lively one…..
