Are we there yet? ;-)
So, according to Paul on the boat, Wayne is swimming like a demon. Man from Atlantis indeed!
As I haven't got much else to do (even if I had), I thought this might be interesting for some - please ignore if this is round #2 on the info!
Number of individuals completing the channel crossing to date: 811, doing 1185 crossings in total (there are lunatics who get to the other side and then start swimming back!!!) - Everest has been climbed successfully 2049 times. In 2005 (a very good year for channel crossings) 79 crossings were racked up - 330 people reached Everest's summit that year...
In other words, more people reach Everest's summit than cross the Channel!!!
