Open water!

Last week, Andy and I completed our first lake swim for several years!   We’d wanted to find a geocache on Lingy Holm island  off the Eastern shore of Ullswater but weren’t sure how difficult a swim would be.  When chatting about this with our lake swimming colleague R, he mentioned that recent sunny weather had warmed the lake waters perfectly so we hatched a cunning plan to swim out to the island with R and his wife, J.  The evening was glorious, the water was indeed warm and the swim was far easier than expected.  And we found the cache!!
