Loch swim sets record

-

Extreme adventurer Ross Edgley has broken the record for the longest ever open water swim in Loch Ness.

Spending 52 hours and 39 minutes covering approximat­ely 50 miles in the loch, Edgley swam without touching land or a boat for more than two days and nights – enduring temperatur­es as low as 5C.

He also battled winds of up to 20 knots and long periods of rain, and said it was “one of the biggest challenges” of his career. Shortly after the feat, Edgley posted a picture of himself recovering in hospital.
