This book tells about the trials and tribulations of an English expatriate who sets himself an endurance sporting goal just for the hell of it. Living in Bulgaria made the challenge even more demanding and was seen by many as a quintessential eccentric English quirk, pointless and mingled with madness. The goal was to complete a 2-mile open water swimming event based some 3000 kilometers away in London's Hyde Park. The the biggest hurdle was not being able to swim with an acute fear of water. Not to be ignored here is age. It was perhaps getting old that motivated him more than anything as opposed to just limp and fade away into the lethargy of old age. The challenge seemed impossible impossible with many hurdles that had to be overcome. This was not just about starting out as a non-swimmer fearful of water, but from other logistical issues over the 6-month journey. Getting through the challenge needed lots of determination, a strong resolve not least bloody-mindedness.
