The Llandudno Boxing Day Dip

Adam having to jump to be seen behind the camel



On Boxing Day the weather was quite a contrast to last year when we had snow and ice. Here at Lymehurst two members of the family were getting psyched up in order to take the plunge at 11.30. Rebecca and Adam rushed around trying to put some fancy dress together which would with stand a dip in the Irish Sea!
All brave volunteers gathered in The George Hotel before making their way on to the Promenade. As you'll see from the photos there was a real collection of volunteers, all ages, sizes, sexes and a wonderful selection of fancy dress costumes.

 
Luckily the crowd parts so that I can photograph Rebecca and Adam
  

 
Almost ready to go






....and they're off



........and into the water....brrrrrrrrrrr

Looks like they're having fun.Wouldn't think they're standing in cold water. 





As you can see there were some daring costumes!!!!



Success.......they did it and survived.

There were 77 Dippers, a record amount. There was a great atmosphere down on the prom and it certainly brought out plenty of spectators.
Anybody wanting to sponsor these daring two can make donations to the St David's Hospice.

  2. I am not sure if my mum has seen your comment. We have loads of photos from the morning so i can have a look through to see if there any more of them with you in. Maybe you can have some better proof well without my brothers arm in the way.
