MORE than 400 people stripped off and ran into the freezing North Sea to celebrate the autumn equinox – and raise money for charity.
It was the largest turnout the North East Skinny Dip has ever seen in its five-year history which is held to raise money for the mental health charity MIND.
Skinny dippers raised nearly £5,000 for mental health charity MIND after taking the freezing plunge into the North Sea at 5.30am this morning
Today’s event, which started at 5.30am in Druridge Bay, Northumberland, was also the first time it has ever rained on the day of the event.
Organiser Jax Higginson, from Sunderland, who came up with the idea after attending a similar event in Wales, said: “We always have a positive response.
“People do it one year then come back again and again. We’ve grown every year so far – people come back with a friend.”
