That blows me away....
swimming in the clyde!
hey claire get this. I have more red dots in different places on my cluster map than you do, but your getting more visits per day than me.
I have a friend who does this in the swim around Manhatten. She's on frogma.blogspot.com. Great gal.
Crunchy Carpets, I like kayaking but the whole idea of that is never to swim in the clyde. you have to admire thier bravery though, cold, rough and over a mile, brr, exhausting!
Dragonfly, the cluster map is updated ocassionally so sometimes it has no dots at all. I think its interesting.
Michael, I'll checkout that link, I don't think I'd like to do it, maybe somewhere warm.
Yes, I was just going to ask -- how cold is it?!
One of my fears is open-water swimming with all that mucky-ucky unknown stuff underneath. That's why I did a tri with a lake swim. Biking, running ok. The swim did me in! And then just to prove me right I got a rather nasty eye infection because of it!!! Haven't done it since. And the water's too cold to be in long outside my house. Or so I say.
Wildside, I'm not sure of the water temperature, you can dangle your hand in it from the kayak and it feels warm, but a couple of feet down and it is chilly, I have tried to see what temperature that can be but can only find an ariticle for a tidal loch stating maximum summer temerature is 9c and i think its colder than that.
