Success at New Year's Day 'big dip' in East Wittering
More than 150 people began 2017 with a bang as they braved the cold and rain to take part in the New Year's Day big dip in East Wittering.
Keen dippers were watched by more than 250 spectators from the promenade as they prepared for the plunge, with many donning a costume for the occasion.
This year's dip was organised by Birdham and Witterings scout groups and the event saw numbers once again exceed expectations, with the dip delayed until 12pm to accommodate all who wanted to take part.
Organiser Ray Nye was thrilled with the turnout.
