Gay's "Round Britain Swim"
Fundraising for Hospice at Home West Cumbria
In 1998 after completing 1000 miles of swimming in swimming pools my "Round Britain Swim" was initiated. On the suggestion of my husband, Richard, the challenge was set to swim the distance equal to the distance around the coastline of England, Wales and Scotland. To mark my position on the map we are converting my "swimming miles" to the "walking miles" of John Merill who walked around the said coastline in 1978, where he logged 6824 miles. My position is plotted on the map annually, from the starting position of St. Bees in Cumbria.
