A 10 minute walk along the coastal fence with Kellie and Kevin, from Portvoller to Shinigeadh with Kellie and myself getting in for a swim. There was a wee lull in between decent sized waves which were fun to try and body surf in. Duckman was saying a tropical 8.2 degrees average.

Superb way to start the day with a sunrise swim at Gress beach with Kellie and Jasmine. The sea was like silk and so clear too. Think I quite like it there. Duckman was saying 7.6 degrees. I hadn't noticed the seal following me that Kellie and Jasmine were telling me about.

Kellie, Connor and myself headed down to the beach at aird tong this afternoon for a dook. Connor did really well in his shortie wetsuit with the waves not phasing him at all. Had a go on the bodyboards which was good craic.

    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.

    Feel free to get in touch via the contact forms at the top of the page.​
