    This is way off topic ..But a team of nautrists was forced to give up their attempt to swim the length of Loch Ness...looks cold to me.Brrrrrrrrr!
    I wonder if they got to Drumnadrochit
    Indeed -- I would think that Loch Ness would be far too cold for this sort of thing, hypothermia and all that. Where's St. Columba (or for that matter, Nessie) when you need them? :mrgreen:

    Cheers,

    Wow! I once went swimming of Iona in the summer and it was cold. Much respect to St. Columba.
