The swim will take place in the third week in August depending on tides and weather, there will be six in a team the swim team is made up of mixed ability swimmers, therefore the swim could take between 12 to 18hrs to complete in a hourly rotation. I expect to swim between 5 and 7 1/2 miles during my hour slots.

I have 2 training weekends and a qualifying swim to do in Dover Harbour in May and July and the swim is under CS & PF rules meaning it is a non wetsuit attempt!

I have a "Just Giving" page that tells you more and the link to my page is www.justgiving.com/Mick-Barker

I also have the traditional sponsorship form which people can donate on as well.

I am contactable by phone on 07522446199 and by email at mick.barker@hotmail.co.uk

Please will you Sponsor me and give me that added incentive to complete the swim

Best Regards Mick
