Gareth Came "Undercooked"

By Karen Quartermain

May 16, 2022

Monday 16th May saw the return of English Channel Solo swimmer Gareth Rees. Not new to endurance events, however slightly under prepared for a Windermere solo today. However with the correct mindset the job was always going to get done.

It was an overcast day, with downpours at times but not so much as a breeze. Water temperature at its lowest 13.4 degrees and at its highest 13.9 degrees, starting from Fell Foot.

Feeding hourly for 4 and changing to 45 minutes when the swim was almost done, Gareth maintained his pace and stroke count throughout.

6 hours and 21 mins, Gareth had another Windermere under his belt. Ready to continue his build up to a double and a Loch Awe Solo later in the year.
