After an epic week of camping in the rain waiting to be called to swim we finally got the call and conformation to begin our channel attempt on Saturday 14th July 2012.
we swam from Shakespear beach next to Dover harbour with Paul in the water first followed by me (Rod) then Alan and Megan. Changing every hour and maintaining the order of swimming we swam through the night unable to get much rest as we we tossed around on the boat, feeling sea sick and cold.
Everyone dug really deep and continued to help one another as our organised help had bailed at the last moment. Paul finally made the last swim the the shore and clambered up the rocks to stake our claim as SUCCESSFUL CHANNEL SWIMMERS. We raised over our target of £10,000.00 and I am really proud of my team. Pictures to follow soon
