The triumphant FitzHenry Channel Swimmers!

This is the route we took. Note the large ‘S’ shape is due to the tides taking us first to the East then back West and finally East again. The start was at Abbots Cliff  at 4:11am, finish at Cap Petite Blanc Nez at 6.29pm - swim time 14hrs 18mins.

The welcoming party from L-R Pete & Jo Rosser - Jackie & Callum: Lee’s partner and son - Maureen Mother/Grandmother - Barry: Callum’s Grandfather. Jackie’s welcome was a special surprise for Lee and myself, Terry.

9-30pm 3 hours after the swimmers touched French Soil at the end of their challenging channel swim their boat enters Dover Harbour.

The swimmers with Ali Streeter who was their pilot and the Observer Robin.

Celebrations on the quay. before they returned to Lee’s and a well earned rest. Ready for Monday when they will appear of ITV’s ‘This Morning ‘ Show.

The swim has been a success!!!!!     14 hours and 18 minutes. At aproximately 6-30pm  Lee touch land in France, thus completing their challenge. In the last part of the swim they caught up an hour to keep them on their target. This was no mean feat as they had to overcome sea sickness and cramps.

Well Done everyone.. What a Family!!!!!!!

Dover here we come to welcome the heroes home.

Brilliant effort by all involved!  The team reached France in 14 hrs 18 mins…  They expected to take approx 16 hours so this is fantastice news!  Everyone is fit and healthy and hugely relieved!!!!

They’re on their way home

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL….

 …. to jump in the water for his final swim…. hope to hear from them soon, they MUST be almost there!  This is nail biting just waiting for the news!!!

We thought Paul had it in the bag, but just because you can see the coast doesn’t mean it’s close!  Neal’s now in the water until 18:11…. will he be the FitzHenry to touch the french land?  Only time will tell…. watch this space!

Daniel has taken them through the 12 hours and Paul has started the big push for shore about 2.4miles from land.
