Sunday 19 June 2011 – Portland
Weyport Masters are organising their inaugural swim around the historical Mulberries in Portland Harbour which is hosting the 2012 Olympic Sailing events.
These two sections of World War 2 Mulberry Harbour units lie in Portland harbour near Portland Castle where they were abandoned after use in the Normandy Landings. They are just two of many that were taken across the English Channel to provide the port facilities necessary to offload the thousands of men and vehicles, and tons of supplies necessary to sustain Operation Overlord and the Battle of Normandy.
1 mile (£15) / 3 miles (£20) / 5 miles (£25)
Wetsuit and non-wetsuit competitors
All swimmers must have completed a minimum of a 1 hour open water swim prior to this swim.
