Thermal underwear

On Saturday we were driving in Hampshire, near Stockbridge. So we had to have a quick dip in the River Test.
There was still frost in the hollows all around, yet we were undeterred.
We stripped off quick and were in ,in a flash. I swam hard as I could against the flow for about ten seconds. Then out and into the uberchill of a January afternoon..
My son even picked up a wee leech.
We only had our undies on, so that is pretty hard core innit.

For real.

Leeches - that is indeed hard core, or even soft core. I have often wondered about swimming in the Test as I believe it is a chalk stream....and imagine the water would be beautifully soft.
