The sea has been wonderfully cold the last week or so. Swimming in it has been incredibly life affirming and incredibly cold on gloved / booted feet. Hitting colder temperatures than last year, regular ice swimming (where I believe the water temp is 5c or less). Today the forecast looked like it was going to … Continue reading The Sea
I’ve had a good start to 2024, coming into the year fit, healthy and positive. This isn’t always the case – but my mind blurs from one previous year to another when I reflect back. I do know that this year has felt different. That in itself is enough – as at the moment that … Continue reading 2024
