Media Coverage-Hotel-Safety Boats-Fundraising


Howdy,

The Sunday Trib article was deadly! Pats on the back all round. Once I have the photos from the photo taking guy I will forward them on to you. We plan to get more coverage as the swim draws nearer.

Its great to see everybody making the most of the Sun and getting loads of Sea-Swimming in. There were about 11 of us in Seapoint at different times on Tues. There is a good crowd expected again tonight (Wed). If you arent doing 2kms in the sea, make sure and get to a pool once a week and belt it out!

Word of warning, gear does get nicked in Seapoint so dont bring valuables if possible.

Hotel is nearly a done deal. Will confirm in the morning. Best deal is with Loch Ness Hotel. It will cost €100 total for both nights including Traditional Scottish Breakfast (Haggis Optional!), moolah is payable on arrival. The Hotel has a BraveHeart Centre, A Nessie Museum, and Pub next door!

Have a gander on

The Safety Boats are now booked for the swim. We will have 2 twelveman boats to escort us across and a Rib for the unlikely event of a rescue. It works out at €50 per head, again payable when we get there. Gotta have them.

Donal and Aran are getting the Sponsorship Cards ready, and Dave is busy on the Logo. We hope to have them out to you next week!!!

Happy Paddling,

Fat Al
