So, my 6th swim was on Wednesday 26th June - 13 days after I started my epic open water swimming adventure. It feels like I have been doing it forever! Mhairi was back and we enlisted the help of Babs this time, and her teenage daughter Amy, as we also took 3 dogs and 2 kids! Mhiari's (mad) dog Daisy the Labrador came as well as Blue and Flirt, and Mahiri's two kids Hope and Harvey. Not quite sure who was looking after who on the shore, but they were all still there when we got out, which is always a bonus!

| This was day 1 - I will post an updated one soon - see if there's any difference!! |
It was lovely evening again, and we set off out to the red buoy, along to Waterside - with a little hiccup in the way of Flirty dawg following on behind again around the headland! So we had to swim back with her and get Babs to distract her with a ball so we could escape again. She's going to manage this swim better than me at this rate!
We had a great swim, and managed 0.78 miles in 32 minutes. I feel like I am getting into a good stride, but really need to get a mile under my belt before 'The Swim'. On the plus side Babs' sprained ankle is coming on a treat with the cool water - before we know it we'll have an influx of injured locals paddling the shoreline to reap the benfits of Ullswater's healing waters! The dogs have never been as clean, and combined with my new 5:2 fasting eating habits, i am 'feeeeling fine'!!
Summer evenings have never been so lovely!
