<p>On a very cold and wet morning in June last year Gill and Amanda were on the ferry from Bowness in the Lake District gazing in trepidation as the mist hung over the dark and gloomy water. Arriving late for the start after running 2 miles and then having to be dragged into full length rubber wet suits we launched ourselves in the freezing Lake Windermere.</p> <p>This year we have taken up the challenge to swim twice as far to raise money for Cats Protection. Please sponsor us to make our efforts worthwhile.</p>
