Celebrating a milestone birthday with a 6am swim at Coll beach, my old swim training ground. Thanks to Kellie, Stuart, Dave and Seumas for coming along this morning. Good banter and a nice chilled start to the day. Duckman was saying 9 degree's average. Click here for the link to the YouTube video from the outing.

A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon with friends, by taking a stroll over the moor to traigh sheilibhig, a stunning oasis between the village's of Gress and Tolsta. We had a swim round to the arch and cave with the water being so clear in places it was just amazing. The cave also has a beach in it. The smell of the bird poop is pretty funky. We've been there before at a higher tide and been able to swim into the cave. The 30 minute walk back to the car's warms you up nicely. Click here for the link to the YouTube video from the outing. Cracking morning for an outing at Tolsta with visiting friend Shane Wasik from Oban. Shane runs Basking Shark Scotland (highly recommended), so we got on and in the water to head round from Giordail beach to the big arch (our version of durdle door) before going through the wee tunnel. I think Shane was taken aback by how stunning even this small bit of coastline was. With hardly a ripple on the water, it definitely was worth the early start.

A few issues with the tow float belt not being wide enough 🤣 but we managed to sort it out. Kenneth did really well and we swam through a few of the small sea stacks. Great laugh. Duckman was saying 9.5 degrees average. Click here for the link to the YouTube video from the outing. Great swim around some of the Point coast today with Dave. Seeing the Orca's in the distance didn't put us in. We had a superb meander through an arch plus checking out some cave's. The sea was so clear and we only had one seal following us. Duckman was saying 9 degree's average. Definitely going back for more exploring again. Click here for the link to the YouTube outing from the video. Cracking way to start May by having a sunny sea swim at Garry beach this morning. Thanks to Kellie, Dave, Mairi and Nicole for coming along. Managed to get into the chamber of the sea stack arch but deemed it too dangerous to swim all the way through. Good craic though. Duckman was saying 8.2 degrees average. Click here for link to the YouTube video from the outing. Took Kellie for a swim through the arch at garrabost this evening. The sun was glistening across the sea in places. Duckman was saying 9.5 degrees average which was certainly higher than this morning at Garry beach. Anyway, love swimming through the arch and seeing the waterfall and beaches beyond.
