Bare Knuckle Crew Charity Swim
« on: October 11, 2008, 06:45:00 PM »
Here's a pic of some of the  BKP team who  made the swim across the Helford river for charity on Sept. 14th 2008.
800m across the channel and boy was it cold! We all made it successfully across and despite the freezing cold water it was great fun. Left to right, Ben, Dan, Chris and Tim(notice who was stupid enough not to wear a wetsuit :oops:).

Spot on lads, what charity was it for?

Nice one.

Is the pic pre- or post- swim?
I'm guessing the former!
