Windermere 2016
And so it was with frivolity and good cheer
That the EGLST travelled to Windermere
To take part in the annual “Chillswim”
Despite the weather being predictably grim
On boarding the train, the boozing commenced
Leaving one passenger particularly incensed
Who despite her calling as a Buddhist monk
Took umbrage at the cans of carling being sunk!

If in life you need a thrill,
Then make your way to Parliament Hill,
Where on weekend mornings the "ladies" meet,
Come rain or shine, snow or sleet.

On early mornings throughout the year,
Dressed in our East German replica gear.
Experiencing memories we’ll never forget,
Whether it&#...

Where do we begin to tell the tale
Of Sailor boy’s quest for the holy grail
To receive the one and only award
Granted by the “Eis Balls committee board”?
The challenge was there and had to be met
To complete 31 swims and not forget
To send daily photos for all to see
Of his exploits in water under 10 degrees C
It started well...

To Kenneth
Our sailor boy made a mistake
By swimming alone in a lake
The signs were quite clear
Danger deepwater, You should'nt ouughta
Be swimming solo, in here.
In this instance young ken was not wise
Determined to not heed the signs
Despite nearby crowd he hollered aloud
And proceeded to his exercise.
At once he attracted the ...
