Well done you.

Love it! Its mad isnt it, what on earth possesses people, I still dont know.

I also found this below, I didnt know about this and this is just up the road from us, I could have gone then as well!

Well just looking at a sea temp website for Ramsgate which is the nearest I could find, it was 10c today!!

How can that be? It felt like about 4!

I don't think the sea temperature changes that much. It's the air temperature that makes you feel the cold.

There was the annual charity swim today in Abersoch, North Wales for the RNLI. Sea calm, weather bright and nearly as many there as in August though not all swimming!

Son in law is a regular but of course my daughter has to look after the children on dry land!

It is not a bad reminder of how you would feel if you really did need the RNLI to come to your aid.
