Loch Broom Swims - 01.12.2019

A Heb Sea Swimmer on tour. Thanks to the 'Rowing the Minch for MS' Tam for the invite to the party last night. They've raised a whopping 30k so far. Met some amazing folk. Thanks to Kathryn for sorting out the accommodation and for Jonathan and Rebekah for putting us up. Had a fantastic time with friends Tall Col and Wendy, getting both my Polar Bear Challenges in on the 1st December. The 1st was on the dark side of the broom (600m@12mins@9.2 degrees) and 2nd on the light side of the broom (400m@11mins@8.9 degrees). Thanks to Alex for showing us her amazing swim spot and getting in for a dip with us. Always great to meet like minded people. 01.12.2019

Thanks for visiting my blog!

I've been a swimmer all my life and over the last several years I've done many challenging open water swims for charity all around our Islands which include the Sound of Barra & the Sound of Harris and both the Little & the Big Minch Channels to name a few.

Having a real passion for open water swimming, I spend a lot of my spare time looking for and discovering amazing new swim spots around the Islands.

I set up The Hebridean Sea Swimmers group in 2011 for all swimmers that live in or visit The Hebrides and it now has over 1000 members. I regularly meet up with visiting swimmers as I love to freely show off our Islands stunning swim locations.

SwimCamping and SwimHiking are my new adventures and having such an amazing playground on my doorstep is fantastic, double bagging my kit into the Lomo waterproof rucksack and swimming to an island for an overnight stay or longer is just the best.
