What a place for a swim camp. Swam from Bosta beach to Little Bernera, walking over to a wee cove and then back in the sea again, towing my waterproof rucksack behind me. Went for a wander before setting up camp at Chapel Beach. At night I was lying under the milky way, watching the northern lights with the odd shooting star also adding to the enjoyment. In the morning had a pre breakfast skins swim, then packed kit away as the heavy rain was starting, a quick cuppa and it was time to head off swimming from Chapel beach round through the kyles and back to Bosta beach. Life is good with swim camping...been planning this for years and am very thankful to the people who have advised me on kit etc...

Scotland really is an awesome place to swim. Duckman enjoyed his holidays...13.09.2019 Great afternoon swimming with Mike Shucksmith at Garry beach while his wife Bridget went for a walk over the bridge to nowhere to take in the views. Mike & myself were stunned by the amount of sand eels around the inlet, thousands of them. Just love open water swimming with the things that you see. Check out the video on the right hand side for a look at the sand eels. My photo's from swimming with the group of visiting Fife Wild Swimmers at Carnish, Uig, Isle of Lewis.
