Home and dry - with photos & videos aplenty


So we're all back home and slept like we've never slept before! Few achy shoulders and general tiredness but feeling pretty good. Yesterday seems really rather surreal now...

The picture on the right is our route. For those of you who doubted our navigation the wobbles are because because of the tides - we actually swam in a straight line. If we hadn't reached the point on the map (le cap gris nez) we would have been swept over it and probably faced another 5-6 hours swimming in the night! Thankfully powerhouse Robbie swam his heart out for the team and took us home. I'm sure you'll all hear about his heroics in the pub with the usual dash of poetic licence.

A massive thank you to everyone supporting and tracking our progress yesterday - it really made such a difference! Very glad to have provided Friday entertainment for you all! Next Friday we'll do something equally crazy/gripping - just let us know what and we'll be more than happy to oblige...!?!

Anyway, a MASSIVE thanks again and if you haven't had enough of our ugly mugs yet, the photos and videos are now uploaded.
