Channel hope No 2 arrives. The channel looks like becoming a crowded stretch of water very soon. Today, Danish waitress Elna Anderson, 37, arrived by air in London from Copenhagen to complete training for an attempt on the channel from France to England. If she succeeds, she intends to 'rest for a few days, then tried to swim back to France.'. A second attempt on the France England crossing is expected shortly from Chilean swimmer Jorges Berroeta.
