Thank you for all the donations to Hospiscare. Emma and Grum have completed our Summer 2010 swim challenges, with the final one mile Roadford Reservoir swim. Joined by Matt who came a brilliant and close 2nd in the Elite race we were all successful and recorded personal best times. 

 On July 3rd we swam the Bluemile across Plymouth Sound, dodging dolphins, dog fish and do do. In August swam in the Trident Challenge down in Falmouth, hazards included surfers, jellyfish and pedallos. As an extra challenge we added in the River Dart 10.2km (yes 10.2 km) on Sept 12th; WOW! And just as the ice began to form we raced in the Roadford reservoir mile swim.

JULY UPDATE: We swam the Bluemile, and despite choppy conditions and a few mouthfuls of briney we were pleased with our times. Great swim, great event.

AUGUST UPDATE: Trident swim done and dusted, bit of sprint compared with 10.2 km, perhaps 3-4 hours, River Dart swim!!

SEPTEMBER UPDATE: It was a blooming long way that River Dart. A brilliant 2 hours and 2 mins for Matt, 2 and 3/4 hours for Emma and Graham nearer 3 hours (rumour he caught the ferry)

October Update: Fantastic swim by Matt, Emma and Grum, with 400+ other swimmers we raised more cash for Hospiscare. Thank you.
