Thank you .. but that water was f f f freezing

Lovely footage I'm the nutter in the elf hat with my daughter and bodyboards haha

Thanks for your comment. It was certainly a good turnout. I've filmed the New Year's Day swim at Whitley Bay a couple of times, but I always forgot about this one in Tynemouth, so when I saw it mentioned somewhere, I marked it on my calendar. I actually think there are more folk here than at W/Bay

Why didn’t you tell me it would be so much fun? I would have gone for a swim too.

[@brianmorrison9168]

Sorry darling, I didn't think you would enjoy the cold water .. it's not as warm as it was in Durban all those years ago x

[@rosss825]

Much nicer going for a swim there without the screaming hordes and actually swimming.

[@brianmorrison9168]

You are probably 100% correct, but 1 day out of 365 it is nice to be part of a large group .. maybe !

[@maxwellblackburn8529]

going into cold water absolute stupidity

[@brianmorrison9168]

Yes it was cold, but not as cold as at Whitley Bay, just a few days later and less than 4 miles away. Why I really don't know.

very dangerous and has no benefits whatsoever
