This book tells of the trials andtribulations of an English expatriatewho set himself an endurancesporting goal just for the hell of it.Living in Bulgaria made thechallenge even more demanding andwas seen by many as a quintessentialeccentric English quirk, pointless andmingled with madness.The goal was to complete a 2-mile openwater swimming event based some 3000 kilometresaway in Londons Hyde Park. Thebiggest hurdle was not being able toswim with an acute fear of water.Not to be ignored here is age. It was perhaps getting old that motivated him more than anything as opposed to just limp and fade away into the lethargy of old age.The challenge seemed an impossible feat initially with many hurdles that had to be overcome. This was not just from starting out as a non-swimmer fearful of water, but from other logistic issues over the 6-month journey.Getting through the challenge needed lots of determination, strong resolve not least bloody-mindedness.
