11c !!!! FUDGING COLD ! Managed 600m then got out as i seemed to be slurring words.....
11c? Luxury! It was 10c down in Folkestone (up from 8 a few weeks ago). Still only managing to last an hour, but one mate managed a full 6 hours with wetsuit and another managed 4 hours without. They are Channel swimmers tho, and have been in every weekend all winter.
Went in at 9pm last night for a shits and giggles bob in a Force 7 gale. Awesome fun, but didn't venture beyond the surf line.
