Well we didn't call our adventure Challenge 5:21 for nothing!
This evening our pilot Stuart called to say that the weather will prohibit us from swimming the channel until at the very least Friday, if not Saturday/Sunday. This is obviously very frustrating and upsetting but totally out of everyone's control.
This news does unfortunately pose several issues in terms of people being able to do the swim. Moving in dates/ job start dates/ holidays are all creeping towards us all and so the timing of the swim is in the balance at the moment.
Fortunately we do still have several options available to us, although they are getting fewer and fewer and the time is getting tighter and tighter....
We are all still hoping that at least some of us will be able to attempt the swim, although it will be even tougher with fewer swimmers as they will be more swims and less of a break between each of them.
We are all keeping our fingers crossed and want everyone to know that we are doing everything in our power to be enable us to swim, unfortunately at the moment it is just all out of our control.
We are all heading back to Reading for a couple of days so as to have some space and relax from the stressful events of the last couple of days.
As ever we will keep you posted on news, and fingers crossed next time it will be more positive and with more definitive answers.
