Bumblebees and Apple Trees: Cold!

Cold!

Photo: 4° water temp. 0° air temp. Next week no wetsuit just skins!

Cold, cold,cold!

My second outdoor swim.

Water temp 4 degrees. Air temp 0 degrees.

Toes similar temperature.

But very exciting and something I have never done before.

There were about 20 hardy souls out there, many of whom didn't wear a wetsuit.

It is currently snowing here in Nottinghamshire and the temperature is set to plummet, so who knows what next weeks swim will bring.

Hypothermia possibly?!?

Wow - you all must be made of strong stuff... Sime & I had trouble getting to a lake on Bodmin Moor on a lovely hot day last year, though we absolutely loved it once we were in!

Well done for doing it!

Kay :)
