INVERNESS, Scotland - One lap of Loch Ness was barely
tolerable, but two more proved too much Saturday for a
group of nude swimmers who surrendered to bad weather.

The four men and two women, taking turns of an hour
each, began their charity stunt Friday night and
completed their first 23-mile lap Saturday morning.
And that was all, as temperatures sank and winds rose.

"We swam all through the night and successfully
completed one length in 14 hours and four minutes but
the conditions were so bad we couldn't go on," said
Kevin Mitchell, 56, the first swimmer to set off
Friday.

"The waves were so big and the wind was so strong that
we couldn't keep the (escort) boat with the swimmer
and that made it unsafe to continue."

British Naturism had organized the sponsored relay to
raise money for Cancer Research UK.
