Story

Some people would you pay good money to see me without any clothes on, yes apparently it is true..

And  WHY WE DID IT

 At 8am on Sunday 19th June, at the northern end of Rhossili beach, I and 407 other brave souls SMASHED the world record for the largest mass skinny dip whilst at the same time raising money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.  

I now hold a 1/408th share in a world record !!

There was a stiff breeze, getting us well prepared for our dip. We had to wait on the advice of Lifeguards for the tide to turn at 8pm. We lined up, were counted, we did some mexican waves and starjumps, then stipped off for a dash into the sea. 

 

After the wait the sea was exhilarating. Much shouting and diving through the plentiful waves. It was a shame to get out afterwards, and some went back in. The atmosphere was brilliant, we all made some very quick buddies and I dont think i heard anyone say they were cold or didnt want to do it again another time ( or even tomorrow ). Adrenalin is a wonderful thing.

 

My updated pictures contain the proof of my day ( suitably sanitised ) so please do look. Everything is obsured or too small to see, Ha Ha.

 

A big thankyou to the organisers and all the wonderful people I met on the beach. There was a great buzz from 408 people acting together to show that they could all do something positive that a few weeks ago they might not have dared.

So dig deep, show extreme support for the cause for which I threw caution, AND EVERYTHING ELSE, to the wind.

 

As well as breaking "skinnydip" records we have collectively raised in well excess of our team target of £13,000. Now at least £19,500......  See Latest  and help us top £20k !!

 

Thanks again to everyone that has supported me so far.
