Mike & Martin (who completed The Dovey 13km backstroke)
Mike first swam these routes on the Dovey/Dyfi estuary in 2012, Menai Straits 2010, and the Mawddach estuary in 2013. He learnt about all of these stretches of water initially from his sea kayak. During this time he co-authored The Wild Swimming Code with Dan Graham for Natural Resources Wales.
