Stand in the sea

Task notes

• This task was only assigned to Bruce Dessau, who completed it in April, while on holiday near Bridport.
• "In the middle of February, I received an email saying there was a bonus round – extra points could be earned by standing in the sea with a copy of that day’s newspaper. Should I risk a wintry dip? I decided against it. But then it got to April and Horne emailed again. Nobody had done it so the points were still up for grabs. As it happened I was on holiday by then so I steeled myself and leapt into the icy Easter water near Bridport. It was only when it came to the August reveal that it turned out that Horne had been sending these messages to me alone, in order that I might commit a self-inflicted dunking in the English Channel."
