Extreme adventurer attempts to break record for longest open-water swim in Loch Ness

An extreme sportsman is set to take on one of his biggest challenges yet – attempting to take on a 48-hour non-stop swim around one of Scotland's most famous lochs.

Lincolnshire-based adventurer Ross Edgley, who became the first person to swim around the entirety of the UK without touching land in 2018, is to take on his latest challenge at Loch Ness to raise awareness for a good cause.
