Hope it was lovely, LN, saves the faff & feels nicer, which is worth the not staying in so long in my case


It’s going to be standing room only here later :-)

You're so right ferret, had a fantastic swim. Did around 2k in 65 mins and didn't feel cold. Some bits of the lake felt warmer than my bath this morning!

Wow, ferret, that looks lovely.

This was Box End at 7am...



I did 4 laps of the cable tow lake (pictured), which was 2.4 miles, the other lake is bigger but a bit weedier.

Not quite a millpond at Newtons Cove, there’s even a very gentle swell.

Lovely dip this morning :-) A lady swimming nearby said 'We could be in Greece, the sky and sea are so blue'. I seem to recall the water being a bit warmer in Greece though ;-)
