Village residents brave the cold for a Winter Polar Plunge

Resident, Donna Swift says the swimmers ranged in age from 66 years to mid 80s and they found the water to be much colder than last year due to the lack of sunlight.

“The water temperature was just 12 degrees so very cold but refreshing. There was also no wind so the water was very still.”

The group were then treated to a mug of mulled wine, coffee, muffins and scones as they wrapped themselves in towels and began to thaw out.
