Yesterday at 10am saw some enthusiastic people go into the water in aid of the local RNLI. Hubby looked up the water temperature when we got home and the North Sea was around 7º C (44.6 F). with land temperatures hovering around 13º C (55.4 F).
I can’t say they actually charged into the water, but there was some joyous barking from dogs who desperately wanted to join in. RNLI lifeguards were already in place in their wet suits, and although participants were not as many as we’ve seen in previous years, it was a pretty good turn out.
We were actually on the beach as they had quite a distance to cover before actually getting wet as you can see from this looking back to the prom.
However, there were a couple who were keeping socially distant
We walked back along the shoreline. Beautiful.
Good for them. Nothing on G-d’s green earth would get me into that cold water.
I haven’t even paddled here.
That is a beautiful beach… I am green with envy that you have it so near to you!
It is lovely Jen. Even better after the holiday season has finished!
This is very brave thing to do. Or very foolish. Or both. Who knows.
They seemed to enjoy it……….. I think. All for a good cause though.
When my family visited Florida 3 years ago, Sparky, son#2 and my BIL all took the plunge into the ocean on New Year’s Day. Brrrrr!!
Brave people!!!
Brave souls indeed 💜
One way of describing them!!
Good job
thank you
