Swim To Bestival: Colin Tabram
Friday, 31st August, 2007 at 8:45 am, Isle of Wight
Colin seems to have an identity problem, but this isn’t stopping him from joining the eleven other swimmers to cross the Solent next Friday.
We all know how dogs love to swim, so hoping that this will help him cross the three miles with great enthusiasm.
A member of the fantastic Hularama crew, he claims that he is 189 dog years old. He rates his favourites activities as scratching, sniffing others’ backsides, cocking the old leg, chewing furniture and running off with shoes.
Even dogs have to train, and Colin has been having his fair share of cold baths and showers, doing endless lengths in pools and lidos alone, resulting in him feeling very cold, wet and sore!
Not disheartened by this he says …
3 miles BRING IT ON - We’re Going to Swim to Bestival! It’s a dogs life! Can’t wait. At least you can see IOW from the start!!
