2012 English Channel Swim

7 - 14 September 2012



After having cycled through Africa, completed 5 Ironman Triathlons, run the Comrades Ultra Marathon, Climbed Kili ... I have decided to take on a slightly tougher option ...



... 34km of cold, open water swimming ... leaving the coast of the eternal "wanna-be" soccer nation, over to the "frogs" on the other side ...

These locals are not that bad ...



These locals really are not that, nor that local. I had a very nice day with Billy and Christy (my friends riding by horse thru Africa). They were currently several kilometers south of where we were staying in Cairo. Met them in town (Cairo) and had lunch, mailed at the internet cafe and then went with them to find horse feed thru the back streets of Cairo ... starting at the stables where the horses get kept for the pyramid rides.

They are doing very well and are in very good spirits ... good luck, enjoy and it was good to see you guys again!!!
