Digger — Fri, 04 May 2012 22:07:21 +0000

Back from excellent holiday in Scotland (see relevant page under “Holidays”). Managed a few swims (see New Swims page under “Wild Swimming”). Attention now focusing on Swim the Door 2012. Details to be posted soon.

“Gone swimming”

“Digger has left the building/England” and will be looking for new Swim in the Highlands of Scotland over Easter.

Dates fixed for Swim the Door 2012

Digger — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:48:45 +0000

Hi. After much deliberation the dates for this years Swim the Door weekend has now been fixed. Its Friday 8th to Sunday 10th. This means it falls at the end of the school holidays which is good for some people, but not for others. Also ”official” caravan hires are only availble from Saturday 9th (fully booked up till then). However, the good news is that, at the moment there is plenty of camping space and, of course, the sea water will be warmer than last year! HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT.

Gone digging

Hi. I’m away now for the rest of August digging at Caerleon in South Wales.

Its not all about digging?!!

But we do find evidence of Romans!!

STD11 awards

Digger — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 12:44:01 +0000

Hi. Yes the prestigious STD11 awards have been released. After days of deliberation the secret committee (after it ran out of Port) decided to announce its decisions. These appear on the STD11 page and some “lucky” people are receiving “official documentation” through the post relating to their awards! Can life get much better!! If you are disappointed that you have not received an award then you need to submit your appeal application within 1 minute of this post going live (or of course you could just turn up next year!).

“We survived”

Digger — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 22:03:25 +0000

Thank you to everyone attended STD11 and making it special for me. I can confirm ‘I counted the swimmers out and counted you all back”. Therefore, I am (90%) certain that WE ALL SURVIVED! Photos to follow in next few days.

See you at The Door

Last post before leaving for Swim The Door 2011. My car is full of inflatable animals, beach towels, booze and emergency blankets! Hope to see you all soon…………..

Three days

Digger — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 22:22:50 +0000

Shocking news has been received today that some people (mentioning no names, Louise) are arriving at Durdle Door on Wednesday evening! Please remember that it is dangerous to enter the sea without a Digger (and he will be so jealous that he may cry!).

Four days and counting

Hope you have made most of the final weekend before Swim the Door 2011? It was a good opportunity to buy those new swim trunks/costumes you have always wanted and even, if you really think you need them, wetsuits!! I’ve even received some texts suggesting some people have had a cold bath to get use to the sea temperature! Silly, its bound to be warmer than last year. It always is!!!
