this is probably the most important
point of the whole great race for them
so far we're going around land and sea
on the other side
[Music]
so I just get a bit reflective you know
just just getting a bit nostalgic
looking back all because if you poke
your head around that corner just over
there
that is Lands End and that is it's it's
such an important part of the Great
British weather but for many reasons it
represents you'd be end of the south
coast it means we've swum over five
hundred kilometers from Margate to Dover
all the way down the south coast and are
now at Lands End and it's crazy looking
back on the whole of the south coast
you're surrounded by dogs
[Music]
but that's that's a fraction of what's
to come
and that's that's scary and exciting and
me and the team are taking a moment to
just reflect and and really just
appreciate what we've done over over the
last twenty nine days and it's been
amazing and the messages on social media
are just like incredible but I can only
be proud for a brief moment at and then
you have to look ahead cuz this so so
far to go it feels like a baptism of
fire but people are saying this can be
Savage even like Lands End it can be
really ropey here you can get the wind
the waves just crashing into the rocks
behind me and I mean look at it it's
just picture s you know even the local
fishermen in Penzance were just like you
just this doesn't happen it just feels
like you know the stars are aligning in
some way we have the Battle of the bay
or just eight waves for you know a whole
week and then now it just feels like
someone like Mother Nature Poseidon
someone is just saying like they go Ross
like you've earned this
this is getting real deep but this is
the sort of stuff I think about when I'm
swimming that there's just something
else something or someone is just saying
there you go
dove for the cap do you have a safe
passage around Lands End okay food
atmosphere on the boat everybody's
buzzing got full vote got some epic
boards as well gonna have some company
today which is amazing
[Music]
how's things yes it's time to get my
game face on can't celebrate too much
I've got big swim today very very
important and this is this is probably
the most important point of the whole
great race for them so far we're going
around let them see on the other side
[Music]
I think I'd rather take a hundred away
from the head country this is not
[Music]
grigory swim south coast plan limbs
completed it tick guys this is gonna be
a little bit raw I've just jumped out of
the water so forgive me still got pink
on her face water coming out my nose
and salt tongue as well is in full
effect my shoulders actually feel fine
it's my tongue that's suffering
it just feels feels very but that was
amazing that was amazing for so many
reasons I always said that Lands End was
going to be such a critical point on the
great very Swift one because it
represents a point that we've done the
whole of the south coast and if we've
done the whole of the south coast it
just means that everything else is
achievable to do it and so it would just
tick that little box it just means there
we now stand a chance I'm still not
celebrating and it feels a little bit
weird because it's it's such an amazing
achievement for the team as well after
everything that we put in
but we just know there's so much more
one of the highlights as well was just
like Tom and cotty just coming out it
was it was so surreal swimming past
Lands End looking at the coastline
having kites just whizzed past me jet
skis ours is that what is going on some
of the advice that I have managed to get
from content with just some of the best
advice I've actually got you know aside
from swimming what you know how to swim
you have to start to understand the
ocean so of course you have to swim
first and foremost but I'm at a stage
now where just any advice any tips and
tricks to try and quite tame the ocean I
will gladly accept and the fact that we
did 60 miles in a single tide just shows
that we're using the whole of the south
coast and just basically just notching
it up as training and basically just
notching it up as try it was a real
these this 16 mile plus tide has just
really been like a byproduct of the
chafing the the jellyfish the salt
tongue you know I started this whole
thing in Margate as raw sadly somewhere
between Swanage and Plymouth involved
into rhino neck and now coming round
Lands End it's just this statement of
intent there and we're just rocking up
to Scotland
so yeah big day London memorable
[Music]
