We started early on Saturday with a trip to a beautiful lake close to Betws-y-Coed in North Wales. It was cold...
...but we kept our spirits up...
...and got some good swimming in!
Then the wetsuits came off...
...Sarah lasted about a minute (this minute may or may not have contained some profanity...)...
...and Soph just kept swimming!
Very admirable! It was a brrrrrr-illiant start to acclimatisation! We'll be ready in no time ;-)
Of course someone couldn't resist practising his rescue skills!
Then on Sunday we donned our stunning (read: hilarious) seal costumes and headed into Liverpool City Centre to get collecting...
...with a little help...
...and we finished having taken a fantastic £369.18 thanks to the lovely (dog-loving!) people of Liverpool, bringing our total to £1693.38! Thank you all very very much!
Fantaastic weekend's work you 2! Well done! Keep up the training - that water looks very chilly!! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Lin! The water certainly was chilly - around 9 or 10 degrees we reckon...my shivers took a good few hours to subside after that!
