How much fun was Keswick Mountain Festival? We loved meeting you all and chatting all things outdoor swimming with the backdrop of that beautiful lake.

AND THE WINNERS ARE...

The swim kit weighed 2.314kg (2314g). We had a few really close guesses, including Tom, the very first person to guess who was only 30g out. But Lucy just beat him with her guess of 2.30kg - just 14g out. Well done, Lucy!

Our swim hat challenge winner was Mike from the Wilda Swim stand next door. He watched you do the challenge all weekend, before swooping in and nailing it with military precision, putting on 13 swim caps in 30 seconds. As a military doctor, we feel like this is an excellent use of his training!
