I've managed to across the Forth since Friday afternoon eight bloody times , 4 in the S160, 2 in the Kangeroo and 2 in my kayak.

The kayak crossing of the Forth was on my "to do" list before the end of the year. Leaving North Queensferry with a few others we headed south across the Forth the veiw of both the bridges is quite simply breath taking from the water

, as I approached the middle arch of the Rail Bridge the waves were over a metre in height, the rain we had over the last few days ,tide and west wind were making things intresting

, not such a big deal in a kayak, however I could not get my head round that folk were about to swim in these conditions for charity:shock: South Queensferry soon arrived and after a sort briefing it was deemed for the swimmers safe to GO.......our afternoon was about to begin!!

Thirty brave / mad folk hit the COLD

water heading in the road bridge direction to combat the water flow , the groop split up fairly quickly so I hung back to help at the rear. After things settled down I started following this guy on his own he was keeping trak spot on all though a bit slower than the others, next thing we see was a Tanker with horn blasting heading in our direction......sh*t

communications cockup

. The swimmers had to hold fire till the Tanker passed

then off they went again..

This delay did not affect my guy so badly ,he was not quite on the tanker, however 6-700 meters from the finish his hand appeared it was all over for him he had swallowed to much sea water

. Hanging onto the front of my Kayak I summoned help by radio for him, quickly he was whisked off

. We pulled a further two out in the fast flowing water, everyone was accounted for thankfully on shore. Our work was done.
It was a intresting afternoon and a fantastinc if not hard way of raising a few quid for the RNLI what a brilliant effort by all involved

Think I've had my quota of Forth crossings for the moment....

If you've had a Parmo then I'd guess heart disease comes next! I've not quite been the same since I had one

It was nice, now can anyone tell me what a B52 is

A large plane that drops big bombs? Or are we talking about the drink?
