Beautiful morning - how can we tempt you?

Blog for Wed 4th April

Down to the old faithful again sans Ollie as Joan, Alex, Paul & Hildi were joined by a tardy Pete who complained of "Adlington Abs" - sustained whilst trying to emulate the great swimmer. Consequently, in too much pain for a stretch in the water.

Joan in at 7.17 followed rapidly by the others who proceeded to swim widths of "our pool". The tide being perfect allowing the gryones to frame our little swimming area with perfectly calm and crystal water. Pete risked joining the swimmers by taking some aerial shots from the slippery West Groyne but unfortunately missed Alex doing one of the first dives of the year. Impressive stuff. Hildi tried to join in the fun but thought better of it as the waters rushing over the rough concrete threatened extreme exfoliation. Paul was content to swim widths (not lengths!) whilst Joan happily warmed down after her earlier marathon training between the gryones.

Pete resolved to join in the fun on Fri - abs or no abs.
