More than a hundred naked women made a dash into the icy Atlantic ocean last Sunday morning in a bid to raise funds for breast cancer, but failed to get in the Guinness Book of Records as an extra bonus.
Short of a few dozen naked women, they would have made it in the Guinness Book of Records to break the world record of women in the nude bathing as a group.
The location of the event, was held secret up to the very morning the event was to take place.
The women were given a Rendez -Vous location at Yeats’ Tavern, where registration was been given at 7.30am.
According to a participant, many women appeared with only their robes and ready to take a dive in the Irish Sea.
Two buses, which made return journeys, bought the women to the secret location which was no other than Lissadel beach.
According to one of the participants, the water was clod at first but got warmer as soon as you went in.
“Some of the women present had already gone through cancer and had mastectomies. There was an amazing spirit of camaraderie. At one point, dozen of women linked hands to form a giant circle and everybody started singing Ole Ole! It was a mind-blowing wonderful experience that I would definitely recommend to anyone out there.”
Also according to the participant, many of the attendees are up to renew the experience and maybe even break the Guinness Book of Records!
