This is the plot which my pilot Eric Hartley recorded with his on-board computer of my successful English Channel solo swim on 3rd August 2010
England to France, the wet way!
STOP PRESS - SUCCESSFUL ENGLISH CHANNEL SOLO CROSSING ACHIEVED ON TUESDAY 3rd AUGUST 2010!
After setting off from Samphire Hoe beach at 2.45 a.m. I finally landed at Calais Harbour beach at approximately 6.30 p.m. UK time, after seeing a wide range of weather and sea states which the Channel had to offer.
According to www.dover.uk.com/channelswimming, I became the 33rd person in 2010 to swim the Channel solo and the 1123rd person to swim the Channel overall.
Sorry the twitter wasn't updated, but it got so rough that it wasn't possible to send any texts!
Sincerest thanks to all who've supported me, taken an interest and otherwise helped me to realise my dream and already donated to my 2 charities, namely RMHC and The Light Fund, a fund raising body who will onward donate funds raised to Friends of Pitcher Oak Special School.
I forgot to add the most frequent "Q&A" to my blog of the swim:
Q Did you really send the tweets whilst you were swimming?

A Sorry, but no - my playful crew, Laurence, Stuart and Wilber were having fun! I must be mad, but I've said I'll also post their reports of the swim, shortly.
I'll also post the video that they took - still needs a bit of editing first though!
