North Harris Outing - 31.05.2021

Fantastic outing in North Harris today with Lottie, Karen, Lisa, Ruby, Kim, Ed and Donnie. Between the Conachro bay tidal pool and dipping into the sea at Hushinish we were totally spoilt. Duckman was saying 12.6 degrees average. We certainly are lucky to live in the Hebrides.

We do it the old fashioned way (no boats, kayaks or sups involved) walking coastal route's and speaking to locals for information about the area. We'll definitely be back there for some coastal swimming....

Fantastic swim through the arch at garrabost with Catherine, followed by a tea break on the beach in the rain. Good fun and some interesting waves to deal with. Duckman was saying 8.4 degrees. One of my favourite places.

    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.
