31st January 2010 - Help for Heroes winter dip - East Looe

It was snowing when I left Dobwalls to drive to Looe.

Hail still covered the Banjo Pier, there was a cold wind, but the sun was shining.

A group of bravehardy people from the Ship Inn gathered on the beach as they have arranged a winter dip to raise money for Help for Heroes.

My congratulations to all those involved as I believe they raised over £1200.

Suddenly the group ran down the beach.

Time to get wet! Time to get wet!

Time to get wet! Time to get wet!

The banner was raised at sea.

Time to get wet! Time to get wet!

before long it became too cold for some.

Brrr its cold! Brrr its cold!

I was quite happy to stand on the beach wearing several layers, as groups left the water.

We did it We did it

We did it We did it

Some went back in for a second time.
