Turning 30 I decided to do something to fight the expansion of the waist line by challenging myself to swim the length of . This is a 27 mile swim and should take between 15-18 hours. Planning on doing it on the 11th of September 2010 and depending on the weather conditions on the day I should start on the south shore about 6 in the morning with an aim to finish on the north shore around 9 o'clock. Depending on the conditions the distance may change and it might be a 10 mile swim across the widest part of the loch.

Now as I'm sure you are aware this is a bit of a monster challenge which ever direction I go in so I've decided to try and raise some money for the charity Momentum  They provide equipment such as laptop with voice recognition software for people who have suffered spinal injuries.

If you wish to find out more about the company then please click the link and even better if you sponsor this swim you will help make a difference for someone who has been through a very unfortunate turn of events.

Thanks

 Ronnie
