The First Irish Swim

After an uneventful journey across the Irish Sea, we arrived in the beautiful town of Kinsale and found our apartment for the week. Saturday's swim was off a lovely beach at Ballycroneen and having chatted for a while a nuumber of us entered the water for a mile swim down the coast and back.

We were supported by a number of kayaks, who kept a close eye on us. After getting back to the starting point a number of us decided to head back down the coast on a second lap, though this time we turned at the halfway point. In total a 3 mile swim at a great location in approx 13C water. I'd a say a good start to the week especially as we were all invited to Eddie Irwin's house after for beer and a curry! Thanks to both Eddie and Liam Maher for a great day.
