Congratulations to Phil Newman who swam in a 3 man English Channel
relay team on 24th
Sept, completing the swim in an official time of 10hrs and 20mins. Phil
got to land at
01.00 on the 25th on a very rocky beach in the pitch black so he has
a nice assortment of grazes and bruises! Despite that it was a really
enjoyable day/evening and the sea was surprisingly warm and reasonably
calm for much of the way. They had nice warm sunshine until just after
19.00 although even after that the air temperature did not seem to drop
much. Arrived back in Dover c. 04.00 and got back just before 07.00 so
Phil
was pleased that he had booked today off as leave too catch up with some much needed sleep!
