Aspire Channel Swim Beach Landing 2021
มุมมอง 1493 ปีที่แล้ว
After 14 hours and 1 minute swimming the English Channel as a six-person relay (Aspire Blue Dragons). We did it and we got to all swim to the beach together to celebrate (this was our dream come true). What made it so special was that one year before we attempted the swim, but one mile from the coast the weather changed and our swim was cancelled. We were all so upset - but the amazing charity ...

YES one month to go... Dover Swim / July 2020
มุมมอง 584 ปีที่แล้ว
One-month to go and our Channel Swim is on ... wow excited and a bit nervous at the same time. So we set ourselves a challenge this week to complete two swims - in for an hour, out, dry off and get warm and then in again for another hour - just so our bodies can get used to being in and out of the cold sea, which is what it'll be like on our relay event. I thought it would be easy but it was ac...
Getting the kids in to open water swimming
มุมมอง 2.8K4 ปีที่แล้ว
So my enthusiasm for this Channel challenge has been getting the kids excited too, as we all love swimming. We've joined a local lake and this is us swimming just after they've passed their induction test swim. I'm so proud of them as they've done so well and are getting stronger week-by-week. I love how even under the water Holly loves to pose lol. We are doing this all in aid of Aspire. Aspir...
A cheeky training swim before work (Brighton, 6.40am)
มุมมอง 284 ปีที่แล้ว
I've really got the bug ... so joined Lauren and Nick down in Brighton for an hour-long swim before work. The alarm went off at 4.30am, 6.40am in the sea, 9.34am back at my desk and ready for some design action ... such a beautiful morning and the sea was so calm (not like work lol). So good! We are doing this all in aid of Aspire. Aspire is such an amazing charity to raise funds for as I had n...
A windy Dover training swim
มุมมอง 664 ปีที่แล้ว
As the public pools still aren't open I have to grab every opportunity to train and swim ... even if it's windy, raining and the sun is hiding away somewhere. So on Sunday, we headed to a windy Dover Harbour for a walk on the cliff tops and a swim. It was pretty chilly and hard to spot where I was swimming to as every time I lifted my head up to breath I was hit with a wave (good for some 'chop...
My two hour qualifying swim in Dover
มุมมอง 1154 ปีที่แล้ว
So lock-down has eased and the weather is getting warmer - which also means the open waters/seas are too. In order to qualify to swim the Channel, you have to complete a two-hour qualifying swim with an official in water under 16 degrees. So with not as much training as I would've liked I had to get this swim done. So at 7am on Saturday 30th May, 2020 I jumped in and swam, swam, swam. It was so...
A new way to train
มุมมอง 204 ปีที่แล้ว
So COVID19 happened and we've gone into lock-down... no more swimming for me then. After a month of indoor training, I needed to get some into the pool again - so we purchased a cheap pool and I designed a tether system to hold me in place as I swam. It got choppy at times and was super-cold (it didn't seem to heat up). But it was good to keep my morale up. Training continues... We are doing th...
My First Cold Swim
มุมมอง 504 ปีที่แล้ว
It had to be done - my first cold water swim/dunk of 2020. Herne Bay, Saturday 14th March and boy was it cold. Putting my head under the water was like torture and I set myself the target of 10 minutes and celebrated with a hand-stand. I cam out red like a lobster, but so proud that I did it. Yes! We are doing this all in aid of Aspire. Aspire is such an amazing charity to raise funds for as I ...
Aspire Blue Dragons first team meet
มุมมอง 244 ปีที่แล้ว
The team name we originally were given was the Aspire Wombats - which we declined lol. So we renamed the Aspire Blue Sea Dragons. Here's video of our first meet at Charlton Lido followed by a pub lunch. So good and a lovely bunch - I'm very blessed! We are doing this all in aid of Aspire. Aspire is such an amazing charity to raise funds for as I had no idea but every four hours someone in the U...
Medical Certificate Approved
มุมมอง 274 ปีที่แล้ว
This little video is all about getting my Medical Certificate approved to swim the Channel. The Doctor was super-cool and has many a swim-story. Another box ticked as I journey towards swimming the Channel in August - whoop! So the Channel measures 22.1 miles across (but the tides push and pull you so the swim is actually much longer). I and a team of five other adventurers/world-changers/crazi...
January 5.50am training begins
มุมมอง 504 ปีที่แล้ว
So it's January and training has begun for my BIG event this year - to swim the English Channel in a relay team with five other crazies. This video captures a typical morning before work - squeezing in an hour-long training swim and then grabbing a coffee before work begins. Phew! We are doing this all in aid of Aspire. Aspire is such an amazing charity to raise funds for as I had no idea but e...
Exploring beautiful Palawan (San Vicente)
มุมมอง 606 ปีที่แล้ว
Yay, we managed to explore Palawan this week and are having an amazing time together (even on crutches - such a shame Zacky can't swim with us poor dude) ... but we've met loads of cool people and stayed in a homestay in a very remote village ... helped the locals fish and played ball with the kids here every day (plus Holly is nurturing the kittens here as if they are her own little babies). H...
Climbing Mount Kinabalu with the kids ...
มุมมอง 19K6 ปีที่แล้ว
With our new friends, we met at Bako National Park, Borneo - the Baldeo family who are also traveling the world. We decided to reunite in Kota Kinabalu and make our way to climb Mount Kinabalu as the ultimate father and son trip. This involved a two day intense hike up the mountain which is the highest mountain in Southeast Asia and is one of the most popular ‘bucket list’ destinations in the w...

    How cold is it at the top and how much layering do you really need? You seem to have brought huge backpacks.
