This morning saw me do my 5th and final 10k swim over the 5 weeks of September for the Laura Hyde Foundation as part of the We Remember Them 2021 virtual relay.. Steamy goggles made it a bit annoying but still got the job done..Thanks to Seumas for joining me at the beginning. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far..

4th 10k swim for charity - 20.09.2021

Fantastic swim at the braighe this morning on the broadbay side. This is my 4th 10k swim for the Laura Hyde Foundation as part of the We Remember Them 2021 virtual relay, 1 mo to go. Birds, sand eels, crabs and even a skate certainly took my mind of the distance as well as finding a golf ball on the sea bed. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far.

2nd 10k for The Laura Hyde Foundation - 06.09.2021

2nd 10k swim completed this morning at the braighe as part of my We Remember Them 2021 virtual relay challenge to raise funds for the Laura Hyde Foundation. Did 3k on the minch side but the amount of jellyfish and poor water quality made me change to the broadbay side for the last 7k. The difference was night and day. 3 10k's left to do 🙂 Thanks for the donations so far and if anyone else would like to donate, you can do so by clicking here.

1st of 5 10k swims for charity - 01.09.2021

Had made a wee video of me talking about the Laura Hyde Foundation and the We Remember Them 2021 virtual relay that I'm taking part in, swimming 10k a week, each week during September. Then when I got home I found out that I had my hand over the mic part of the go pro enjoy the music instead and hopefully make a donation to the only UK charity focused on mental health support and awareness for our medical and emergency services. Let's care for our carer's..
1st 10k done, 4 more to go.

    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.​
