You might be on to something Chris, as I’m sure I remember stories of a cat being added to a villages drinking water. It could an urban myth, but somehow it rings a bell.
mystery ingredient = confiscated kittens?
It seems Bilston Bath water really does work, If only I knew what that secret ingredient was, I could make a fortune… before it’s outlawed.
Meanwhile I’ll continue to experiment with Spar foot bath water[ used] , in lieiu of the secret ingredient, I’ll be using a mystery ingredient…. would anyone like to try it…. naturally supplies are limited.
Congrats to the A Team on smashing the record by more than 3 mins and putting us in the top 20! Fine performances in the B, C and D teams too…
Results are here by the way:

Well, there is no “class” as such, and there is not much class at all in Bilston! Just me in the deep end with an aqua belt doing mind-numbing sprint sessions for an hour and then hoping one of the lifeguards can scoop me out with a big net. I work in Ettingshall and so Bilston Baths is about 5 mins away and I do the graveyard session 7.30-8.30am most wed and fri!
Is there aqua-jogging at Bilston? They used to do it at Wyndley and then it stopped and I really miss it. I thought it was fantastic.
Us Northerners are made out of tough stuff … so a little bit of pool water won’t harm us.
Looking forward to meeting you guys on Saturday and beating the BvH’s course record.
What? Bilston baths water?… contains, water, chorine, essence of corn plaster, plus a secret ingredient ?
Whats he on???? Ill have a glass of that!
Can’t wait – with an 800m European Champion handing the baton to an Aqua Jogging Champion, the A Team should have no problems in winning this one. In the pool at 7.30am tomorrow for a rep session – see the rest of the A Team there. Forget tough training reps at Cofton Park, if you want to rough it then Bilston baths is a good test of your mental strength and will prepare you for the Road Relays!!!
