On Friday night, in a curry house on Brick Lane we decided to blog our swimming efforts. We felt the need that more people should know about our hungover training sessions, days at work with water in your ears so you can't hear anything and our fury with old women doing breaststroke to keep their hair dry who don't get out of the bloody way.
Basically, all the general stuff that's going to make swimming the Channel difficult.
One of the things that really caught my imagination (read: inspired real fear) was the descriptions of swimming through stinging jelly fish shoals that choose to hang out between England and France.
That's why I was delighted to hear that this year will see record jelly fish blooms in Europe because of a mild winter: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/feb/29/spain.conservation
Anyone got any tips for warding off jelly fish?
