On 1 June Ross Edgley started his bid to become the first person to swim around the entire coast of mainland Britain. He set off on the 3,200km swim from Margate. He expects the swim to take 100 days. During that time he won’t step foot on land and plans to swim 30 to 50km per day, swimming with the tides and stopping on the support boat to eat and sleep.
In his first weeks at sea, Ross has had to combat the extreme cold, jellyfish, and the breakdown of his support dinghy during the 20-minute window given to cross the busy shipping lane out of Portsmouth.
