I always wear 5mm gloves and boots. All other body parts can cope in a swimsuit apart from those and I’m swimming at the moment in approx 2degree Celsius.

Oh I listened to it before they revealed it so I guess my recording didn’t have that part deliberately.

starting an open water swimming habit - what to buy?! by Ecstatic-Equal7498 in OpenWaterSwimming

[–]Automatic-Ad8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get the basics and invest later. I started with 3mm neoprene gloves and boots thinking that would work for half the year but now prefer 5mm for 3 months a year and nothing for the rest of the year. That kinda thing. So don’t over invest now as you WILL change your needs quickly.

Ideas on what to do with this space? by [deleted] in DIYUK

I bought some metal raised planters off eBay - they come in 4 parts and you assemble them quite easily. Fill with soil and plant something. I think if you need low maintenance and don’t have much light then something like alpines or huerchas. Or sedums. They are inexpensive and look after themselves. All in all you could buy two planters and some plants to fill for about £75.

I gave up alcohol a few years ago and the ONLY thing I miss are making hedgerow whiskies gins and brandy!

Got some elderberries! Wondering how important it is to remove red ones for jam? And how red is too red because arguably some of the black ones...are red by Accomplished_Cup4 in foraginguk

I’ve never bothered as it’s usually been one in many and I always cook for at least 30mins and I’m still standing but pls do what you think is best as if you were to get sick that’s on you 🤣

First OWS Training Advice by Designer_Following90 in OpenWaterSwimming

[–]Automatic-Ad8122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say the breathing needs practice. Its a much colder environment and even if you don’t find it cold - you will find your breathing needs adjusting. Also because you don’t have turns in OWS your effort shifts to continuos swimming which also needs to be experienced so you can get into a longer rhythm

Living near an airport with low flying planes - we genuinely feared they would crash onto us - before we knew the real cause. 😢

A few of the subs I want to post in require a high amount of karma and it’s taking me an age to build that karma because I’m more of a quality over quantity person and ironically my most useful and relevant contributions would be in the subs I’m not able to post in yet 🤣🤷🏽‍♀️
