No feeling quite like it, the tingling from the ice cold water, that feeling afterwards—mental as well as physical.

The health benefits are wonderful, and when I miss a day it's a day lost... In water at 2°C, surrounded by snow-capped mountains is lovely.

Try...is worth it.

plunged into despondency
by the murder yet again
of two innocent men
victimised in their last stand
as they stood tall
and fell
bullets piercing us all
