Guys - bad news from the English Channel. The winds coming in from the west are kicking up some hefty waves. Andy King our pilot is not taking Team 1 out until Saturday at the earliest.
We are Team 3 (out of the four teams that Andy has scheduled for his nine day window) so that means we are now looking at Monday 31 August as the first day we could possibly go.
Bank Holiday Monday in the UK????? Well, we all know what the weather's supposed to be like on bank holidays, right?
What this does mean is that we keep ticking over, swimming tomorrow, maybe swim saturday morning at Liquid Leisure, or even change it up to Heron Lake. Ultimately, keep in touch with our pilot and keep ourselves fit and ready to go.
Thanks to everyone for your support. I'm only fifteen quid away from another landmark of 50% of my RNLI total and i hear that cheques are arriving in the mail for the RVCP!!
Just to let you know what to expect, Chris Newell who I am swimming with achieved his sponsorship target of 1,500 quid earlier this week and will be sporting some neon pink budgie smugglers for one leg of the swim. Lucky us indeed, but more importantly that's great work by him on behalf of his charity, CLIC Sargent, for children's cancer research. Well done Chris!
Happy trails everyone!
