After spending more than five months in the sea, Ross Edgley is approaching the finish line of his incredible 2,000-mile Great British Swim.
Edgley has constantly pushed his body to the limit since setting off on his record-breaking quest from Margate back on June 1.
Fuelled by an astonishing 15,000-calorie daily diet, the 33-year-old will become the first person to swim around the entire coast of mainland Britain without stepping foot on dry land once.
Edgley is expecting to reach Margate this Sunday, November 4, which will see him complete the 2,000-mile open water swim in 157 days.
During that time, he has faced terrifying dangers, gruesome injuries and unthinkable pain.
Multiple jellyfish stings to the face, a disintegrating tongue and extreme chafing are just a few of the challenges Edgley has been forced to overcome.
Edgley, who has used HUUB wetsuits and gear throughout the challenge, admitted mixed emotions as he approaches the finish line.
“It’s a really weird feeling as it’s all I’ve known now for the past five months,” he said. “On the one hand it’s almost pure relief, but on the other, there’s a real sense of sadness because I’ve grown so close to the crew and the experiences I’ve had will stay with me forever.
“I always say how naïve I was at the start of this whole thing and there was always a sense of, ‘Can it really be done?’, so to now be talking about the finish is pretty surreal.”
After spending five months in the cold British waters, Edgley is preparing for an intense programme of physiotherapy when he gets back on dry land.
His feet in particular will need special attention, so he can learn to walk and run properly again.
Edgley has often spoken of his philosophy of ‘swimming with a smile’ to help him find the positive mental attitude needed to continue with the challenge.
And his trademark beaming smile will no doubt be visible for all to see when he swims into Margate harbour flanked by more than 300 swimmers from the Outdoor Swimming Society.
“I just love getting out there and swimming,” Edgley said. “There’s a task at hand, but you’ve got to enjoy what you’re doing first and foremost.
“Yes, there’s aches, pains and salt tongue to contend with, but it’s all about going beyond those perceived mental and physical limits.
“So a bit painful, yes, but it sort of pales into insignificance when I think about the finish in Margate.”
