Tuesday 12th July was another stunning day. We met the lovely slightly nervous Lucy Bessant , ready for her Windermere Solo. 


With a sub 5 hour target in her mind, Lucy was super focused. Lucy was waved off by her family and off she sped. Hourly feeds down Windemere made it a smooth guided swim. 


A couple of hours from the end, Lucy started to look up more and ask silly questions like "how far now" and " are we close?"..


A final push as Lucy stopped more frequently. Cheered on by everyone sat aboard Windermere Cruiser as she passed the jetty with a big shout out over the speakers. 


4 hours and 44 minutes, Lucy was screamed into the jetty by her famly. 


A fabulous swim. Looking forward to seeing what else Lucy has up her sleeve.
