Brave souls from right across the area braved chilly temperatures and plucked up the courage to take part in a very successful dip in the sea at Porth Eirias on Boxing Day.

Organisers reported the best attendance yet despite competition from similar dips in Llandudno and Rhyl. Over 200 people took part on Colwyn Bay's beach in aid of St. David's Hospice.

The event began life a few years ago as a tribute to a local lady who sadly lost her life to cancer. Before she passed away, she would look forward to seeing her son and his friends take a dip in the sea in freezing temperatures after Christmas and the event has grown every year to mark her memory and the work of St. David's Hospice.
