#AlphabetOfSwims
Have you been following my #AlphabetOfSwims? You might enjoy my blog all about the locations I've swum at. Some great reccomendations and some, er, not so much.

My brilliant sister Sarah Finch (the one that challenged big oil and won) has written a blog of the day she joined me for my #AlphabetOfSwims for @MedicalAidPal - she captures the day beautifully.

Hey #Cornwall and #Wildswimming people.
I'm getting close to the end of my #AlphabetOfSwims raising funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians - and I need your help.
I still have to find locations for
J
N
O
U
and Z.
'Z' for Zennor seems obvious, but can you think of somewhere for any of the others?
Graphic for #SwimmingForPalestine showing the names and an image for each of the locations where Ed has already swum and a yellow rectangle with the letter of the alphabet for each of the locations he's yet to tick off. The letters A, G, J, N, O, P, Q, R, U, V X and Z are still to get.
Updated #AlphabetOfSwims graphic showing us to be decisively over half way with the addition of 'K' for Killerton. Had to do a bit of mild trespass to get the the river - quite exciting. Fundraising is stalled at £430 - could you help us towards the next milestone?

We have reached the halfway point on my #AlphabetOfSwims for @MedicalAidPal.
We've raised £430.
Yesterday I added; 'B' for Barricanes, 'H' for Hele, 'I' for Ilfracombe, 'S' for Saunton and 'W' for Watermouth.

I haven't updated the graphic yet but after an epic North Devon five swim day, we are officially half way through the #AlphabetOfSwims.
Hey! Due to a big wave of kindness, the #AlphabetOfSwims fundraiser for Medical Aid for Palestinians tipped over the £400 mark last night. Amazing! Thank you all.
Ticked off 'T' for Turf Lock, 'E' for the River Exe and 'D' for Double Lock this afternoon. The water in the Exe and the Exeter Ship Canal was a lot warmer than I've been used to of late. A lot murkier too though. Big bath needed!

An attractive stretch of the River Yeo.
Scoping out the location for my next swim. But do I strategically file it under 'Y' for Yeo or 'S' for Salmonhutch?

A graphic showing the letters of the alphabet but with the F swapped out for a photo of the river teign at Fingle Bridge.
My #AlphabetOfSwims is properly underway, raising funds for @medicalaidpal.bsky.social .
Started with F for Fingle Bridge which is also F for Finch.
A beautiful swim in the River Teign not far from my old stomping grounds. If you can spare a penny or a pound visit www.justgiving.com/page/swimmin...
