Xmas Swim 2017
As usual the beach and seafront was packed with sadists today to watch the swimmers go for their annual painful dip into the cold North Sea

The turkeys - top photo - had an interesting experience. Once they got into the water they sank as the costumes became too heavy. Had to be rescued by the lifeboat-men.

Sounds like they started taking in water. A good job the RNLI were there then.muzzy wrote:The turkeys - top photo - had an interesting experience. Once they got into the water they sank as the costumes became too heavy. Had to be rescued by the lifeboat-men.
