Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Tesco bags also top! And then there is the Lidl frozen goods bag that is all the rage as a hot water bottle radiator

Salford suitcase also springs to mind, no offence meant but that is what an ex partner of mine used to call his holiday bag (Lol! Also a tesco carrier bag)

Went for a dip at Felixstowe this morning. Wowsers! Like no rollercoaster I have ever seen. Wave jumping before the major storm hit.. So amazing.

Wow! Do we think lakes will have to close again? Apparently outside recreation is going to be encouraged

Who knows. We have been enjoying swimming at capernwray which is as safe as you could think possible (contactless payment as we drive in) and it would be disappointing if it had to shut.

Lakes may close, in which case I think we may have to progress to rivers...

Hi folks. I posted this elsewhere but thought you guys might be the appropriate audience. I have an orca trisuit that I wore for 1 triathlon years ago. I will never fit into it again and would rather it went to a good home. Obviously not useful for this time of year. Let me know if you can use it and I'll pop it in the post.

There didn't seem to be a thread devoted to open water swimming, so I thought I'd start one.
