The very first one!

Hello, this the first in what I hope will be a series of postings covering my wild swimming adventures over the summer of 2011.
My aim is only to record some of my adventures and experiences of swimming in the great outdoors.  Hopefully, they will encourage others to get out there and enjoy.
From our base in Broadwoodwidger near Lifton on the Devon/Cornwall border (but just on the England side!), me, my wife Tammy and our dog Pignut try to get out on swims as often as possible to the sea, lakes and rivers.

This was taken off a beach in St Martin, Isles of Scilly last Septmeber; it could have been the Carribean, from the perfect sand and beautiful clear blue water.

Normally I work in Plymouth and try to get out at lunchtimes when I can down to the sea at Tinside for a brief dip.  Not so much of that this year as I have been changing jobs.
Please feel free to post your thoughts and suggestions in reply.
cheers

Adam
