that was the local press but what they didn't manage to mention was Nigel Snowshall's effort to attend the start of the swim, insistent he wanted to give others the chance to crew the boat he set about powering himself to the event, he initially set out from Exmouth on a Prone Paddleboard to show the youngsters also attending the event to follow the individual swimmers how it was done, he began the 1.5 mile mile effort well on his knees

before hitting the water to swim the remaining distance to the event.

all of this effort just to attend let alone then provide safety cover at this brilliant local event.

 Here's Jonny Hawkins one of our finest, mentally preparing himself courtesy of his thinking hat on the pontoon at the start.

With the BBQ supplied By BK and the food was being devoured at an alarming rate

Music was supplied by Fin and a cameo appearance by Meg

when all sausages and burgers have been consumed, the chocolate and crisps despatched Snowy hatched a plan

lets see how flexible we are and pick up a piece of card with your mouth from the floor!
this was met with fear and utter confusion from Connor

and it is this that bought us on to the events conclusion.
Georgia, Flic, Jen and Snowy were the only ones elastic enough to take on the challenge

 with Georgia taking top honours with a 50p pickup, while the others settled with the card

there was much celebration during the event once the jeans came off

and nigel realised his full potential
