New Years Day: Brave swimmers take the plunge in Carnlough Harbour for Ballymena Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association charity

While you may have been wrapped up toasty warm in front of the fire watching TV on New Year’s Day, for others, their idea of fun was jumping into the nearest ice cold harbour for charity – in this case at Carnlough. Brrrrrrrrrrr!

And to add to the fun, there were plenty of fancy dress costumes involved as well! This year sees the 52nd running of the event, with money going to support the work of the Ballymena Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association.
