A third (and final) attempt will be made, by a group of mainlanders, to swim around the Isle of Wight tonight. Bad weather has seen the cancellation of the event twice already this summer. But the team now hopes to start their attempt at Ryde Pier, at 10:30pm, on Thursday night. The six charity fundraisers plan to swim the 60 mile route non-stop, in relay. They estimate they’ll finish at 4:30pm in Ryde Pier, on Friday afternoon. It is in aid of Newport’s Earl Mountbatten Hospice. Visit www.roundtheislandswim.co.uk for more information.
