Any of chaps seen this fella...been on the news recently...27 years had to cross bearing straights whilst it was frozen...and now going to have to swim the channel 

Karl Bushby,the channel will be a mere puddle to him,he has already swam the 300 kilometre stretch of the Caspian Sea from Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan,it’s part of his Goliath expedition,there’s a lady doing similar as well.
