Cross channel swimming.

There's nothing better than a swim with a purpose and when it was mentioned that locals swim across the channel between the old castle car park and Sphaktiriq Island interest was piqued. Post Methoni Castle hike Liz was a little sunned out so she decided to chill at home with a book while the cross channel swim was tackled. A short 3 mile bike ride, locate somewhere to tether the bike and then stash everything in the waterproof bag. Thought it yesterday but this confirmed it - the sea is definitely warmer than the pool. Very nice. Made it fairly easily, though it could've been easier - a sandbar further down the beach meant some others had got half way without a stroke. Nice little chill on the other side and then back, making use of the sandbar. Back to find the Macedonian neighbours banging out shitty Europop. Not great - better not be upto that at 1am or I'll probably do absolutely nothing other than chunner to myself.En savoir plus
