Open Water Swim Lakes 26th September

[ZoeB]

A few of us have hatched a plan for an open water swim at Crummock in the Lake District on 26th September.

We will be attempting to swim the full 4k distance but there is an option for a shorter swim if there is interest (1.5kish).

There is a campsite in Buttermere, as well as a YHA for anyone who doesn’t want to camp. We will be staying Friday and Saturday and imagine we will have dinner / beers in the pub after.

If anyone is interested in either swimming or being part of the safety boat crew please sign up below and let me know which you would like to do. Would be very grateful for some extra safety boaters! We currently have 1 canoe and 2 paddle boards available but could look into hiring / borrowing more if there is interest.

Anyone is welcome - even if you just want to come for the craic of a bonus end of summer camping trip!

Looking forward, i'll bring my canoe for a second safety boat team

[Stew]

Eek! Exciting. I do look forward to this.

[VickyHiggs]

Me and Matt are in. We will bring our canoe and be safety boat. Looking forward to it! Just to confirm is it Sykes Farm campsite people are booking into?

[ZoeB]

Yes Sykes farm - I’ll add those interested to a group chat to discuss logistics

[Ruth]

I am certainly interested in camping - will consider the 1km swim

Im not sure if I can make it, but I would be keen for a long swim if I am available so add me to the group!

[Elo]

And I'm keen to join as a part of the support crew, borrowing Stew's paddleboard if possible!
