If you didn't catch the Ben on Channel 5's 'World's Greatest Mountains' series this week, then make sure you catch up! It's well worth a watch with some beautiful footage of the peak and its wildlife. Click here - https://www.my5.tv/mountain/season-1/epis ode-2

THE BRAVEHEART SWIM - TOP TIP From Sean McFarlane
"Yes, it’s a sea swim in Scotland in mid September but all previous races have had very manageable water temperatures (14 degrees), so consider what you wear carefully. I’ve seen far too much not need extra neoprene in transition like boots and vests which do take extra time to take off."
... If any of our past Bravehearts have an any useful tips for the swim, please share!
