    Anyone taking a dip tomorrow? Are there any organised swims tomorrow in Donegal? Any info would be great. :)

    "The annual New Years Day Swim will take place on Rathmullan Beach on Sat 1st January 2011 at 12pm.
    All proceeds this year will go to the Donegal Branch of The Irish Kidney Association - Renal Patient Comfort Fund.
    Please show your support for theses courageous swimmers.
    Sponsor Cards can be obtained and donations can be made to John Duffy and Susan Hanlon Ramelton."

    Robbed from Facebook! (http://www.facebook.com/RathmullanCottages)

    I'm sure there are others, but this is the only one I know about.

    There's also one at Marble Hill, Portnablagh at 2pm. It's for 2 charities (MS Ireland and Creeslough Day Centre).

    They organise a one way system entering towards Marble Hill at Faugher School and exiting at Breaghy Head.

    It's worth getting there early so you don't have a long walk back to your car after the swim (this is based on experience - my husband's not mine :rolleyes:)

    Me my father and my son swam Cloughglass today @ 12pm then followed it up by a feed of Guinness and a United victory in Sharkeys, Annagry afterwards. My toes are just about thawed out again !

    Thanks for all the replies. My brother wanted to do a swim. He ended up going to Rosnawlagh this afternoon & of course a visit to Smugglers afterwards! Fair play to all of you who took part.

    Bit late now, but perhaps a bit of info for next year, but there was also a New Year's Day swim at Culdaff, Inishowen.

    Not sure if there was one at Lisfannon, Buncrana. Usually is some day over Xmas period.

    Hi, I will contact the organisers and arrange a post for next years dip. 138 hardy souls braved the elements this year.
