Claire, Emily and I have just signed up for the Bosphorus cross-continental swim. It's 6km across the Bosphorus Strait in Turkey on 21st July. Sounds like an awesome event with swimmers from all over the world. Considering I only just mastered 2km front crawl I've got a bit of work to do to get up to speed, but excited about the challenge! Let us know if you fancy joining? 

It's a balloted event run by the Turkish Olympic Committee but if you want a guaranteed place (like us) you can sign up with SwimTrek: https://www.swimtrek.com/packages/swimming-holiday-bosphorus-cross-...

Deadline is 21st December.

I think a couple of Windrushers have done it before so if you have any questions I'm sure we can find the answers!

Hello fellow Bosphorus swimmers, happy new year! Have you booked your flights yet? I was going to go for the BA one, out on Friday at 10:25, return on Sunday 17:25, £250. Seems to be the cheapest and best timings.

Wahoo! That's great news Christa! 

Perhaps we should all get together in the new year to chat about plans, and maybe a practice sea swim?

Will definitely pick your brains about fun stuff to do in Istanbul Louise. Thanks!

I signed up!! Very exciting. 

Thank you Louise for all the helpful tips!

Happy new year all!

I haven't booked yet Christa but was thinking about staying on a couple of days to explore the sites of Istanbul. Do you use Whatsapp? If so I'll set up a group so we can all chat about plans. Can you send me a personal message with your phone number? 

I've just signed up to the Friday night swim course in the hope that it'll kick start me into some training! 

Am I too late to join in with this?! Just getting into 2018 planning!

Yep, in 27mins. Must be good! Next year Rosie :)

Oh what a shame you're too late :-( 

SwimTrek have got a mailing list you could join in case more places become available. Might be worth signing up for that? Would love it if you could both come.
