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!

I *am* a bloke that took 52 minutes to do a 1.5k swim at London. To be fair I got lost, lost my goggles and had to be nudged from canoe to canoe...

You could have smashed 50 minutes if that had been held in Ely as it's impossible to get lost swimming point to point in a narrow river.

Ely is a city not a town anyway (or a dump). *biased*
It also excellent tea shops and very good indeed ice cream if you venture to Cherry Hill chocolates (they sell Jack's Gelato).

I may be about cheering fetchies on if anyone wants let tell me their bib number.

Gobi - it's near where you didn't do the dualthon (or TT?) earlier this year.
