After 10hrs 20min Rob’s Solo attempt ended about 4 miles from the French Coast. Worsening weather and sea-sickness causing safety concerns resulted in the attempt being abandoned - this time.

So, I hear you say, it’s all over then - why should I come back?

There’s still a massive amount of content to be added - as well as some fantastic images. Swimmers are still sending in their ‘experiences’ which will be added to their biog pages along with images specific to themselves. We’re awaiting imminent CSA Observers Reports for all the swims which will be uploaded too.

Exercise Channel Eagle goes on with the next Tri-Service Race being 2009. You’ll see in our new Forum that 2008 looks interesting too!

This is just the start! Channel Eagle isn’t ‘just’ a race. It’s a whole new concept. This website is growing into a resource for Open Water swimmers worldwide..

We’ve still got money coming in for our charities - and the Justgiving widgets below will be working right through until November - so it’s not too late to show just how impressed you were with the effort put in by your swimmers with a donation. We’re sooo close to our £10,000 target - please help!
