Swim from England to France?? What the….

How do you get from the Uk to France? I know the only way I go is via plane or train honey. But a bunch of folks, one being a very good friend of mine has decided it might be a good (read, crazy-ass) idea to swim it!! That’s right, goggles on, earplugs in, let’s go for a paddle!!! Bbrrrrrrr!! So my friend, let’s call her mad-Jen was semi-freaking out about the fact that whilst herself and the team have been training since May in the cold waters of Parliament Hill and Dover (and a brief foray in the North Sea in 6-7C) working up to almost 3 hours in 15C, the conditions have generally been flat-ish and quite calm. Cue, the channel, hmmm let’s see, damn cold, no sides to hold onto, choppy-ass water, and more jelly fish than you would ever care to imagine!!! That’s some brave shizz!!!!!!! Oh, and, no wetsuits or covering themselves in lard. Expletive. So the guys have been given the green light with the tide and other such sea-faring stuff which I don’t understand since I’m a dry-land girl. The team are raising money for Bliss and Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Truly Inspirational guys!!!!! Wishing you all the best of luck you crazies!!!!
