A cracker of a coastal walk over in Uig today with Joseph, Joshua and Hanna. About an hour's walk to the beautiful small beach where Joseph and myself got in for a swim over to the second beach while Joshua and Hanna had fun with items found on the shore.

A wee wander around the coast on the westside of Lewis this afternoon with Joseph, Joshua, Hanna and Molly. Molly and myself had a quick swim in one of the bay's and I managed to get through the arch. Then we had a look round at Stac a phris, which is stunning.

Northton Hike -18.07.2022

A wee hike around some of Northton in Harris with Duncan. Weather wasn't the best as was that misty drizzly rain that we all love in Scotland. At least it wasn't midge. Still, it's a great place for an outing. Views and history are amazing.

Shulishader Swim - 14.07.2022

Superb swim down the 88 steps at Shulishader with Mary, Faris and Hisham this afternoon. We found that the cauldron has an entrance at the bottom of it, so we did some cave exploring. It's an excellent place for a mini swim adventure. A fair chop out in the open but the cove's were mostly sheltered.

Lumpy sea but good fun getting through the arch at garrabost this afternoon with Faris, Kirsty, Eilidh, Kim and Ruth. The arch was actually the most sheltered part. It's definitely a favourite place of mine for a swim adventure. Great craic.

Urgha and Maraig circuit - 03.07.2022

A fair distance walked today with Kellie doing the Urgha and Maraig circuit. It's one of the route's in the WalkHighlands book, although we started in a different location from the book. Highly recommended with breathtaking views all along the way. Good footwear, sense of adventure plus food and drinks too. Video is a mishmash of Kellie's and my photos. Not 100% sure that they're in the right order. Spot Kellie trying to call a taxi to get her that last few metres up the hill to the van 🤣

    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.​
