8 intrepid (for intrepid read slightly unstable) members of LLWSC braved arctic conditions to welcome the New Year and raise funds for the Renal Research unit of the Western Infirmary Glasgow, where Gail and Hammy Stewart were very well looked after when Hammy donated a kidney to his wife Gail.

Steve Kinghorn, Gail, Emma and Hammy Stewart along with the crew of the Luss rescue boat showing no sign of nerves or cold before venturing into the ice cold water

Gail and Hammy

OK, that's our bit done we're off to the pub

Gail proving you never really lose it and a part of Hammy skiing for the 1st time

See you (Thomas Taylor) Jimmy

Emma Stewart, not cold but extremely cool

Archie MacLellan showing he is adept at more than one sport

Harvey MacLellan showing he can go one (hand) better than big brother Archie

Fiona McCulloch coming out of the wardrobe

Left a bit, left a bit, come on Dave just a bit more LEFT please

A wet Gerry Murray learning the hard way that the boat driver is always RIGHT

Who stole the jump?

Steve waving his arm and leg in a vain attempt to hide he is wearing his 2002 outfit again

Once again warm thanks to the crew of the Luss rescue boat
