From Chris Gane:
Kilchoan staged its own version of the Loony Dook yesterday, where folk take a swim in the sea on New Year’s Day. Three stalwarts managed to drag themselves out of bed to meet up at midday on the ferry slip – in fact, one was still wearing his pyjamas. A small crowd, including at least two Emergency Responders, had gathered to cheer them on as they braved the icy waters.
While one elected for the more genteel/ladylike option of the slipway itself to enter the water, the two young gentlemen, obviously inspired by the cliff divers of Acapulco, decided to launch themselves from the pier....
...which they managed with great elan.
With the Hogmanay hangovers washed away, the three Dookers posed for a celebratory photo.
Congratulation's one can always rely on Anne and Bruce to show us how it should be done! hope this becomes a Kilchoan Annual Event!
