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!

Just put this on the for sale thread but wondered if anyone here interested.

Before I put it on ebay would anyone be interested in my Alpkit openwater swimming wetsuit? It's the woman's version of this model in 'short and strong' I love it as its got less padding but I'll never fit in it again.

Is in excellent condition, but there is a indent on the front thats been there since I got it. (I'll get a photo in a sec)

Would post for £70

I would for my SO but I think she needs their medium, thermal version, for Norwegian lakes this season.

Haha Steve yes!! 😄

Getting chilly on little visit to Great Yarmouth this evening. Water only dropped slightly but lower air temp makes massive difference.

I thought the water seemed noticeably cooler today too. Will I be able to stay in skins much longer, that's the question :-)

I’ve swum every day on Colonsay so far. There are 2 beaches close to the house. Today we’re riding to a further away one. 15* yesterday I think.

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