No Excuses

SSF is morphing.  Two new members and no Ollie or Paul, Joan continues her bid for marathon glory by completing 23 beach laps - not easy on deep pebbles.  As she was doing this, Hildi was doing smooth laps on the undercliffe above in final prep. for Edinburgh.  Pete arriving as these two were finishing off.  Emma and Andy arrived soon after.  Emma in cossie again with just Andy opting for wetsuit security. Arriving just in time for the start was Stefan with (another?) new camera.  With the tide out it was a long walk to the first buoy.  The sand was very squidgy in places but preferable to the assortment of rocks further west.    We all did our own thing, Andy out to the eastern outer buoy and back, Emma frolicking with Joan in the shallows whilst Pete & Hildi went out for a there & back between the outer buoys.

All back to the beach for the great measuring.  Joan dipped the thermometer and LO! 12 degrees!

This data knocks the stuffing out of any more half baked excuses from the tropical brigade.  So come on down for the celebrations on the 3rd.
