I think I may have got my trails & ways wrong concerning the walk, my goal is to walk from Hull to Blackpool, Is this the trans pennine trail or something completely different ? Its something thats just come into my mind in the past few weeks & haven't really researched it, so any help would be appreciated.
When we were young, the only real option for swimming was the pool, unless we had the day out at the beach, which were few & far between, never really had the opportunity to swim in a river or lake .
I think you may be right "open water swimming" is one of those new fangled phrases, which if i'm honest i don't mind, one that really winds me up though is "Pan fried".
