March 1: “I had my swim just before lunch today. It was bright but really windy for the first day; the water was SOOO cold.”
March 2: “Another day, another South Georgia hat! The weather was bright again today but with a pretty cold wind. I got nicely exfoliated by the sand whipped up in the 40mph cross shore gusts! The sea was pretty choppy too, so lots of splash back and a little salt water inhaled too."
March 3: "After an awful day of weather the sun actually came out for my swim, it didn't make it any warmer though! - Delighted to have raised £445 already. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far."
March 4 and 5: “Really lucky to have two days in a row of brilliant weather, calm and bright. I've thoroughly enjoyed these swims.”
March 6: “So Happy”
March 7: “Flat calm but 1 degree on the beach and ice on the ground, felt a bit more like SG!
March 8: “Gusting 45mph on the beach and definitely the coldest swim of the challenge so far. I took a photo of me in the sea, just to prove I really do it .”
March 9: “Another windy day, with a seal for company.”
March 10: “Much less windy than the last few days, so enjoyed it rather more - wearing my “Endurance” Tshirt on the beach.”
March 11 - "What can I say, a really wild swim..."
March 12 - "Thankfully a bit better than yesterday!"
March 13 - "Very windy today so a pretty splashy dip, goggles essential."
March 14 - "What a corker - sunshine and beautiful waves, a real treat."
March 15 - "We made it to £5000! Huge thanks to everyone, half way through the challenge and all your donations are pushing me on. I've been blown away by the response. The weather has been pretty erratic over the last few days, but it all adds to the adventure. I never thought we would reach £5k and can't thank everyone enough."
March 16 Calm and cold.
