Brave or just barking mad……

Today was the official opening of the Jesus Green outdoor pool in Cambridge.

Open may to September. its the longest outdoor pool in the Country

100 yards long, 15 yards wide, depths of 1.2m - 2.5m - 1.2m

A few brave souls turned out on this cold damp day, to christen the pool,

The water temperature was 12 deg

Who was first in ???

Geoff of course, lucky for me I had not taken my costume to Cambridge this week-end.

    You sure missed a treat  :-) You did very well in your role as official photographer and support person. Hopefully, the rest of the piccies you will put up on flickr after you have stoked up on meat after your veggie weekend :-)

    I was directed over this way by james at “nourishing obscurity”. I have enjoyed having a poke around and looking at your photographs. I believe I shall return for tales of your further adventures.
