Mr. Simon Ratcliffe will be braving the waters of The Solent to swim from the UK to The Isle of Wight for the “Swim To Bestival” event on September 9th.

Mr. Ratcliffe told reporters “It’s 3 miles, chilly and there are lots of large ships. I’ve tried on my first wetsuit and I look ridiculous. So we’re all set”.
