Olatua Beach. First swim of the year without neoprene – my crazy girls made me do it, which is the price you pay for bringing them up on the beach in Baile na nGall and chucking them in the sea from an early age ……. It may look warm, but this is the time of year when the snow melts in the Pyrenees and finds its way down to the ocean, its colder than midwinter – I lasted about ten seconds……. cup of tea or rum punch?
