Can't wait to get swim camping again. Getting plenty of camping practice in, in the meantime. I do swim camping for personal pleasure.....if anyone is visiting Lewis or Harris, when it's allowed, feel free to get in touch with me. You'll have to have your own swim camping kit.

Stopped off for a short swim at Swordale Bay on my way home from work today. As the tide was in a bit, I had a wee pootle over the reef in me Twammers. Love seeing the seaweed flowing back and fore underwater with the current. Duckman was saying 8.4 degrees average. Very therapeutic indeed...

Tide was way out after work today at Swordale Bay when I stopped off for a swim on my way home. Had a pootle about in me Twammers around the seaweed and saw lots of sea urchins and a few starfish too. Love being in among all the colours and especially if the sunlight is beaming through. Duckman was saying 9 degrees average. Last swim of the week...

    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.​
