SUMMARY:The Thames Marathon - Long Distance Swimming Event
DESCRIPTION:Long Distance Swimming Event\nThe Thames Marathon\, now in its 8th year\, is a 14km long-distance challenge swim from Henley-on-Thames to Marlow. It covers a beautiful stretch of the Thames and has become one of open water swimming’s most prestigious marathon swims. The swim is split into 4 sections. Swimmers will be required to exit the water at the 3 locks – Hambledon at 4k\, Hurley at 10k and Temple at 11.8k – where food and drink will be available. \nWhere does the swim start and finish?\nIn 2018 the Thames Marathon 14km swim will start at The Leander club\, Henley and finish at Higginson Park\, Marlow. \nWhere should I park for the event?\nThe official car parking will be in Henley\, at Wargrave Meadows\, Wargrave Rd. From here you will take the short walk to the start venue at Leander club. After you have finished your swim and had some food and collected your finisher medal\, we will transport you back to Henley. Supporters will be able to pay on the day to use the coach service. \nIs there other parking in Henley?\nYes\, there are plenty of public car parks in Henley and they are free on Sundays. The return coach will only drop off at the official car park. \nThames Marathon – Long Distance Swimming Event\nHow will my bag get to the end?\nWe will transport one small bag (3-4kg) for each swimmer. We will tag your bag for identification purposes\, and have it waiting for you at the finish area. We try and be careful but accidents do happen -please don’t use your best bag as we can’t be held responsible for any damage suffered in transit. \nCan I swim in a team with a group of friends?\nAbsolutely\, in fact we encourage it. The more people who swim together and look out for each other\, the safer the event is. If you wish to swim with friends\, please make sure that you all enter the same wave. \nWill I be able to wear a tow float?\nIn 2018 all swimmers will be required to use a tow float and are advised to get used to swimming with one before the event. Selkie Swim Co have some available. \nHow will you ensure that those who want to do solo swims are able to do so safely?\nWe have a fully approved safety plan that ensures coverage across the full course throughout the event. In addition ALL swimmers will be required to use a tow-float at the 2018 event. \nCan I swim non – wetsuit?\nWe do have a small number of non-wetsuit places available. . This is to minimise the risk to our safety plan. Wetsuits are important for retaining heat and providing buoyancy. If you would like a non-wetsuit place your application will be assessed by the events team for approval. Our decision is final on wetsuits and no discussion can be entered into. We advise swimmers to be prepared to wear a wetsuit if asked\, on the day. \nNon-wetsuit places have now been allocated for 2018 and a waiting list is in operation \nHow many feed stops will there be ?\nThere will be 3 feed stops in 2018 – one at each lock: Hambleden (4km)\, Hurley (10km) and Temple (11.8km) \nWhat food will be available at the feed stops?\nWe will provide a bit of everything\, including bananas\, energy bars\, energy drinks\, water\, some chocolate\, sweets\, and some salty snacks. A couple of the stops will also have hot drinks. \nHow will the start work?\nThe pink wave\, for faster swimmers that wish to race against the clock\, will go off first. The remaining waves will go off at 20 minute intervals (timetable subject to change). \nHow should I choose which wave to enter?\nFaster swimmers that wish to swim against the clock\, and have a 1500m pool time of 25 minutes or less should select the pink wave. \nOther swimmers should select either the blue or the green wave. In 2018 both of these waves will be of mixed ability. If you wish to swim with a group\, make sure you all select the same wave. The BLUE WAVE is now SOLD OUT. If you are not a pink wave swimmer\, please select the green wave. \nThe first (pink) wave will set off at 7am\, with approximately 20 minutes in between the waves. These timings are provisional and are subject to change. \nWe would recommend that if you are not presently able to complete a 1500m swim in under 45mins it might be as well to target a shorter event and then build for the 2019 Thames Marathon. \nAre there toilets on the course?\nThere are toilets at the start at Leander club\, and at the finish at Higginson Park. We are aiming to have a toilet stop at one of the food stations as well. \nCan supporters walk the route?\nThe route is walkable\, by following The Thames Path. Download the route here – Thames Marathon Walking Route. \nIt is also possible to cycle the route\, although there are a large number of kissing style gates where you may have to lift your bikes to get through. \nCan I talk to fellow swimmers in advance of the event?\nDefinitely\, we have set up Henley Swim Chatter as a facebook forum\, where you are able to discuss anything with fellow swimmers from nutrition and training tips to transport to the event on the day. There is also a facebook event page with all the latest information.

SUMMARY:St Michaels Mount Swim 2018
DESCRIPTION:St Michaels Mount Swim 2018 \nThe Chestnut Appeal for Prostate Cancer’s annual one and a half mile swim around the spectacular St Michaels Mount will take place on Saturday 11th  August 2018 at 16.00. \nThe St Michaels Mount swim starts on the beach at Marazion where swimmers will set off for the Mount over the causeway swimming through clear waters around the Mount before making a course back to the beach to cheers from friends and family and a welcome pasty. \nDavid Squires\, Events Manager at the Chestnut Appeal said “The swim can be quite challenging and we ask that all those who take part can complete the distance in a pool and have experience of Open Water Swimming.” \n “Its such a fantastic event in a stunning location and the event attracts people from all corners of the UK to take part.” said David Squires \nA recent fundraising campaign has meant that the Chestnut Appeal is now able to provide the very latest in equipment for faster diagnosis of prostate cancer now in place at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.  \nAt a cost of £105\,000 the Ultrasound – MRI Fusion Scanner for Targeted Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer is the first of its kind in the region.  The Chestnut Appeal hope that soon they can announce the arrival of a second Scanner in the East of the region and it is their aim and with the support of the public to install others in Torbay and Truro as and when funds allow. \nThe St Michaels Mount swim will be fully supported by the team from Event Water Safety.  Event Water Safety provide the necessary expertise and craft and have covered all the Chestnut Appeal’s charity swims since 2011.  EWS provide safety at some of the UK’s biggest swims including the Dart 10k and Bournemouth Pier to Pier. \nRegistration for the swim is £35. Your entry fee covers the cost of organising the event\, but it’s the money you raise that helps Prostate Cancer patients and their families\, so we ask all our St Michaels Mount Swimmers set themselves a Sponsorship target of at least £75.\nThis will be our fifth swim around the mount and it’s a swim that has helped us raise our profile in Cornwall and has seen us attract new supporters.  So if you fancy a new challenge and at the same time raise money to help men with prostate cancer in the region then why not register today. \nEntry to the St Michaels Mount Swim includes; a medal on completion of the swim\, full water safety support from Event Water Safety\, an event swim cap\, water and an end of swim pasty. \nThe Chestnut Appeal for Prostate Cancer is a charity that supports men with Prostate Cancer and their families across Devon and Cornwall. \nSt. Michaels Mount\, home to the St. Aubyn family is managed by the National Trust and a beautiful place to visit. At low tide\, it is possible to walk across the causeway to the mount.

DESCRIPTION:Cycling Events in Iceland\nThis is one of the most incredible cycling experiences on the planet. On Climate Ride Iceland we’ll travel to this magnificent island nation to explore the Southern Highlands where active volcanoes\, sparkling glaciers\, hot springs\, and rustic mountain huts combine to create an unparalleled connection to nature. \nThis charitable event is our premier mountain bike-only Climate Ride\, and all of the cycling takes place on gravel roads. NEW for 2018 – we’ll have daily options for single-track if you would like to try it out! Local Icelandic guides and our Climate Ride team will take care of all the details\, allowing us to ride\, connect\, and see how the changing climate is affecting the Land of Fire and Ice. \nOn this charitable biking event\, we travel where few tourists go. We stay in rustic mountain huts. If you crave more privacy\, we suggest you bring a high-quality tent so you can stay in the campground. \nThis trip is well-suited to experienced road cyclists who can get comfortable on a mountain bike. Weather can vary and you must be prepared for cold\, rain\, and river crossings. Follow our packing list and you’ll be just fine! You should train to ride 30 miles per day on gravel roads. There are shorter options each day if you choose to ride in the support van. \nIf you are vegan or vegetarian\, please connect with us to ensure you have wonderful food options. Bring a big smile and your sense of adventure for this jaw-dropping charitable bike adventure! \nClimate Ride charitable events bring together bright minds\, breathtaking routes for all cycling abilities\, and the unforgettable combination of passion and purpose. On this trip\, we’ll get a first-hand look at the environmental issues affecting Iceland including glacial melting\, flooding\, overfishing\, and land rise\, while learning about Iceland’s nearly 100% reliance on geothermal and hydropower energy sources. \nThis is a special Climate Ride Funders Trip and the proceeds directly support Climate Ride’s work. Your fundraising on Climate Ride Iceland will benefit the programs and efforts of Climate Ride including our community scholarships for young climate leaders. You are helping us grow the organization to become an advocacy powerhouse that engages people in the world of active environmental philanthropy and sustainable solutions. All donations are tax-deductible. \nA passport is required. \nDaily cycling mileages to suit all types of cyclists. This is a fully supported ride which means you can focus on the pedaling and making connections with your new friends while we take care of everything from overnight details\, meals\, snacks\, luggage transport\, and much more to make your trip as enjoyable as possible.  \nEvent Itinerary Overview\n(Your Travel Planner will include full details) \nDay 1-Bike 22 Miles\nWe depart early this morning from Reykjavik hotels for a 3-hour\, scenic drive to Iceland’s spectacular volcanic mountains. At the foot of Hekla\, the country’s most active and famous volcano\, we’ll jump on our bikes for the first bike ride of the week – a stunning route across strange lava fields and stunning black desert sands before entering the amazing Dómadalur region\, flanked by smooth grassy mountains on one side and colourful rhyolite peaks on the other.\nOur first night is spent in a remote cabin in the heart of these spectacular highlands. \nDay 2-Bike 16 Miles\nWe head out early from our mountain hut at Landmannahellir to Frostastadavatn Lake (Icelandic for ‘Lake of the Frosty Place’). Our cycling route takes us to the famed natural hot springs at Landmannalaugar. Here we have an opportunity for a hike and a regenerating\, well-deserved soak in the steaming natural pools. In the afternoon\, enjoy an optional 9 km single-track bicycle route to Ljótapollur.\nOur accommodations for the night are at a mountain hut near Landmannalaugar. \nDay 3-Bike 25 Miles\nOn our third day of bike riding\, we head eastward\, biking on the Fjallabak Nature Preserve’s north route. The Fjallabak region\, one of the largest geothermal areas in Iceland\, takes its name from the numerous wild and rugged mountains with deeply incised valleys that are found here. The Nature Preserve\, where more than 150 types of flowering plants\, ferns\, and allies have been identified\, was established in 1979 to protect the area’s natural features so that future generations will have the opportunity to enjoy them as we do today.\nTonight\, our day ends at a comfortable mountain hut\, where we’ll spend two nights. \nDay 4-Bike 19 Miles\nToday starts with a shuttle from Hólaskjól to Langisjór. Once at Langisjór we’ll gear up and cycle along the Skaftá River – a picturesque glacier-fed river. We continue along the rushing waters through the Eldgjá volcanic canyon\, an enormous 5-mile fissure in the Earth and testament that this island straddles two continental plates.\nAfter an amazing day on the trail\, we eventually return to our mountain hut for a hearty meal before turning in for the night. \nDay 5-Bike 28 Miles\nDay 5 begins on a black sandy highland road through pasture land used for sheep grazing. The gravel bike route today affords a magnificent view of the Mýrdalsjökull Glacier – with its ice cap topping the Katla volcano\, made famous during the 2010 eruption of nearby Eyjafjallajökull. After a tasty lunch\, we continue toward the south coast and cross the famous Laugavegur trekking route – noted for its wide variety of otherworldly landscapes.\nAt our final mountain hut for the week\, we’ll enjoy a farewell dinner and celebrate our last evening together. \nDay 6-Bike 16 Miles\nToday’s bike ride starts off at Emstrur\, passing the impressive Markafljót Canyon. From there we pedal our mountain bikes along the mountains with several challenging sections to the great canyons of the Markarfljót River. After lunch\, we make our way on a remote and beautiful mountain road that leads to an idyllic valley under the Tindfjallajökull Glacier\, where we’ll finish the week’s riding. \nAfter packing up our gear\, we’ll drive back to hotels in Reykjavik for an afternoon arrival in the busy city.
