Week 6 of Training



Howdy Folks,

I hope you are fully recovered from the Grandslam weekend. Legendary stuff!

We are now well into week 6 of the training schedule. If you are a Nessie swimmer you are on 1.2 kms this week and 1.4 next week.

If you are a transcontinentaler you are on 2.5 kms this week and 3 kms next. I jumped the gun and did 3 myself this morn, wasnt as bad as I thought it was gonna be at all!

If you're a Hellesponter and you havent booked your flights yet they have gone down again to €240 return! Great value, get them in if you havent.

We're still getting requests from people who want to join Nessie but we are turning some away because we are now full up. With this in mind, if you are on this mailing list, but wont be coming, please let us know now so somebody can take your place. No worries if for any reason you wont be able to make it. All we ask is let us know now. In a couple of weeks we will be too far into the training for replacement people to catch up.

The 40 Foot was absolutlely roasting last Saturday, and its been a warm week to it will be warmer again tomorrow, it'll be high tide at 12.30 so should be a lovely dip. Still havent seen a couple of the heads so come on down, especially if you havent been yet (Sue, Kedders ahem).

Hopefully we'll beat the Berbatovless Bulgaris and move closer to South Africa!!!

Happy Paddling
