HEBSEASWIMMER - A HEBRIDEAN SWIM ADVENTURER

Bhacasaigh SwimCamp - 28.07.2025

Into the chop, I swam from Tràigh na Beirigh over to Bhacasaigh plodding on around the outside of the island till I got out at (Tòb an t-Seann Bhaile) which is one of the many bays and walked over to the usual bay I camp near. There were plenty of seals swimming about the bay, watching me, so I went for a swim but they never came close to me. I also went up a couple of small hills to take in the awesome views that Bhacasaigh has to offer. After dinner I got the campfire going, music on, kicked the football and watched the seals again. This is the first time I've camped on the island without any midges, or so I thought, as they started appearing during the night and got worse in the morning. I thought I pressed record on the camera on the way back but it turned out I'd just switched the camera on 🙈🤣 Anyway it was a nice swim back to the beach as it was a lot calmer than on the way over.

    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.
