157-day swim around Great Britain

& I thought is was long enough driving from Sydney to Tennant Creek, only 2993 km in a car with air conditioning!

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-05/ros...n/10428934

Adventurer Ross Edgley returned on Sunday to the Kent town of Margate, in Britain's south-east, 157 days after he left.

Stepping on to dry land for the first time in over five months, he became the first man in history to complete a 2,800-kilometre circumnavigation of Great Britain — swimming unassisted the whole way. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Mad as a bucket of frogs for even contemplating it.

But a brilliant effort none the less. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
