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 ...

Down to swim tomorrow 8 Sept 2012 at 03h30

Hi there all ... probably my last post till after my swim. I shall not be updating this page during the swim. Facebook and Twitter have made things much easier these days ;-)

I am due to meet the skipper at 02h30 Saturday (tomorrow) morning; with the idea to head off from Shakespeare Beach at about 03h30 ...

My nerves are killing me!!!! Excited, stressed, happy, unbelievable ... all eventually coming true.
