Can you spare a pound?  We are aiming to get 250 people to sponsor us a quid each.  Really a quid or two is perfect...we know what it's like with so many fantastic friends takling on challenges!

we have never done something like this before.  Half a mile isn't too bad.....it's the cold and the deepness and the no stopping at each end...plus the potential angry swans  and unidentified seamonster / 20 foot long sturgeon that's got us worried! :-) (or the killer pike! http://www.killerpike.co.uk/ )

anyhoo, we are raising money for MIND which is a good cause so just a pound will make a big difference all added up!  If you are feeling particularly altruistic then you might also like to sponsor Kate Upshall Davis who's doing the full mile and is responsible for getting us into this whole thing!

We did our first outdoor swim this saturday!  pics are from then

Love from Tristan and Marie
