Loch Lomond

It's definitely in the Maybe yes maybe No category at the moment, however myself and a couple of other swimmers are considering Loch Lomond solos in 2015
Why ? It's close to home (180miles) and relatively cheap to organise in comparison to an English Channel swim, it will make a nice change from Windermere, at the outset navigation appears to be pretty much straightforward. It will be a massive challenge to swim 20+ miles and cold freshwater. It is my understanding that only around 50 individuals have completed the swim. Thoughts ??

    Could you swim Loch Lomond and be home in half an hour? ;)

    Do it! Let me know when, if you want others. :)

    We're all just carbon, water, starlight, oxygen and dreams

    I kayaked Dave Dawson last August up Loch Lomond. He became the first New Zealander to swim it. Time was 12:23. It was warmer in the loch at 18 Celsius than it was out. A great swim!!
