Anyone else doing the Tough Guy event in January?

I did it last year. Biggest advice is dont swallow ANY water

That looks incredible!
I’d love to do it, but I’m stuck in Canada.
Really, I know I could finish if I could just . . .
<takes another sip of tea and winces because it’s tepid>

I went to watch a while back (it’s fairly local), they were busy breaking the ice on the lakes when we got there.

It looked horrible!

I did it in 2001 & that included ice braking. All i can say is wear 2 pair of rubber gloves with warm gloves in between them.

Enjoy.

the cold is your biggest enemy on this so try and keep your hat dry at all times!! good luck

i am desperate to do it but not at £99. maybe the nettles though!

This will be my third winter visit to the Killing Fields of Perton. I didn’t do last year’s, but the thing is like some crazy narcotic. The ice in ’10 was interesting, but more cases of hypothermia in ’09. 600 from memory, oh and a suspected broken neck.

I just don’t get it. Loads of friends have done it and love it so maybe it’s me. Maybe it’s having been in the forces it all just seems a bit wannabe. Maybe it’s the name and what the name seems to say about what you want people to think of you for entering.
