Popular Post GB7 Posted December 27, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Hello all, Here's the video I've made for our Christmas Day swim that we do every year at Sands of Sound. My feet and throat swelled up after this because of how cold it was. Nevertheless, good fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkdK747i8jc If you like it, sharing it would be great!

shetlandpeat Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Firstly, not the sea, secondly, green algae and thirdly pollution from the land based activities of land based creatures. More fun in the sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 The late A I Tulloch used to go for a swim in the sea at Reawick beach every day, even at this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More fun in the sea.firstly it was the sea.sands of sound is the sea. secondary it was during a storm. that was producing strong currents. thirdly as you know folks are often drowned when mucking about near the sea. as you know happens quite often in blackpool.cold seas with severe weather and possibly slightly drunk folks = not fun indeed go for a paddle but not during a storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Confused ther Paul? We know it was the sea, but a loch is not. If we are comparing bodies of water, I think this year Preston Docks have had more deaths this year than Blackpool. I can remember 3 in the docks and 2 at Blackpool. The odds for survival there are that thousands go for a swim in the sea off Blackpool, about 10 have gone for a dip in Preston Dock. Preston Dock is not the sea, has green algae and is full of rubbish. These events go on all over the country, privately or publicly, i see it as a wee bit of fun by those who are experienced. I would like to think you were joking when you accused those who swim in the sea as drunk, possibly. Just in case folk do not know the size of Preston Loch oops, Dock... http://www.picturesofengland.com/img/L/1002593.jpg Edited December 27, 2013 by shetlandpeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shetlandpeat Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Not really a full blown swim though, more of a paddle if you read the comments on YouTube, still looked fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgonzola Butt-cheese Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Great fun , good way to clear a hangover, done it several times and once 60 mile North West of Foula Climbing everest could be considered idiotic or the triumph of the human spirit over adversity... For some , life without risk is extremely dull. crofter and shetlandpeat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the dictionary... of or resembling an idiotIdiotic - someone who needs to look up a dictionary to find out what it means. Some things have to be explained, especially as there are American meanings and British meanings. Though, I thought talking about people was "small minded" I am happy in my idiotic pseudonym role on here. A bit like a chewy fart. Cannot quite get rid of it...
