I've been getting my stuff together to head up to Windermere and while I was packing my kit I thought about what the top trumps cards would be if it was lakes and swimmers.
Windermere, the longest lake in England. Length: 18km
Depth: 66 meters
Water temperature: Cold
Difficulty: High
Special equipment: Motor boats, Wildlife, Ferries.
Matt Storry, crazy fool and aspiring long distance swimmer.
Height: 5ft 6
Weight: Too Heavy
Special Equipment: Goggles, Hat, Tow Float and chocolate biscuits.
Which card would you rather have???
If you want to follow my progress on Saturday morning, here is the link (it won't work till the swim starts which is probably about 6am)!
