The Blue lamp Trial Swim Done

So we started the day with some trepidation or at least I did. A longer swim than ever before for
Me. A stroll in the lake for Tom and Michelle
However I set off at a reasonable pace but soon realised that my pace and theirs were somewhat different. So the conclusion nearly 4 hours later was that we all ended up at Ambleside.
Job done
Huge respect for Tom who was about 30 mins quicker over the 6 to 6.5 miles
Michelle is just so quick.
Here are some views of us before the swim.
It was great that Kath Rathband was able to start the event. A real hero.
