Over 200 people braved the freezing cold temperatures of the North Sea for Alnmouth’s annual New Year’s Day dip, in what has been hailed as its biggest event to date.
From Father Christmas, to the Knights of the Round Table a whole host of characters dashed into the water on January 1 for a memorable way to mark the start of 2020 and the beginning of a new decade.
We hope everyone has warmed up now!
