The December Dip Challenge

The Advent December Ice Dip

Three brave (or completely bonkers) blokes Neil Denning, Chris Fox, and Ian Watson are taking on a brutally cold challenge this December…

For at least 20 days (to allow for December festivities), usually around 5am, we’ll be throwing ourselves into icy water wearing nothing but swim trunks and a hat. No wetsuits. No shortcuts. No excuses. ❄️

Our main dipping ground will be BOB Lake in Wakefield, though we might shake things up with a few different spots along the way. And to make it even tougher, between the four of us we’re only allowed three misses total for the entire month. That’s it. No more.

Every single dip will be filmed — for evidence, for entertainment, and probably to capture a lot of shivering and questionable life choices.

It’s cold. It’s dark. It’s December.
But we’re committed to taking it on — one freezing plunge at a time.

Stay tuned for updates, videos, and (inevitably) a few regrets. 💪🧊
