So what was the out come of the two Ents that set out in January of 1956 to cross the channel? It sound srather cold to say the least. Did they really do it? was it just publicity and did they sail off round a headland? good effort for them anyway |

The moths and cherubs have talked about a cross channel race on a few
occasions... I suspect that would be a little warmer than a pair of
ents in january however.

A couple of friends of mine did the crossing for the anniversary. It took 4 1/2 hours to cross and 6 hours to return ! |
