The North Channel is colder and tougher than the English Channel. Noone has completed a two-way North Channel crossing, but Caroline Block has made the impossible seem possible after coming tantalisingly close to finishing this “impossible” swim. Caroline started the first leg of her swim at Robbies Point in Ireland at 8:04pm, Friday 4 August with a water temperature of 12.9 Celsius and air temperature of 12.3. She reached landfall in Scotland at 11:36am on Saturday 5 August, completing the first leg in 15 hours, 32 minutes and 25 seconds. She called time on her two-way attempt east of Belfast Lough at 11:59 pm on 5 August, having swam 88km in 28 hours 55 minutes 1 second.
