Brave people had a refreshing start to the New Year after taking part in an annual charity dip in Newquay.

Hundreds of men, women and children took the plunge to participate in the Dip for CLIC at the harbour.

Many wore their fanciest fancy dress for the occasion. Thousands of watched from the quayside and every vantage point to cheer on the dippers.

So far more than £4,000 has been raised following the event in aid of Young Lives vs Cancer.

Organisers Andy and Jos Cole said: “It was a fantastic event.

“Hundreds of intrepid dippers braved the cool Atlantic Ocean thousands watching a wonderful community event at Newquay Harbour raising so far over £4,000 for Young Lives vs Cancer amazing. 

“Big thanks to everyone who dipped, watched, helped and of course our sponsor Start and Co estate agents. Particularly thanks to the wonderful ladies and partners from Beaches and Cream WI, Newquay Seaman's Mission for allowing the use of the mission, Newquay RNLI, Newquay Surf Life Saving Club for supplying the lifeguard cover, Blystra Signs and Newquay Rowing Club were all brilliant. 

Big thank you to everyone.
