Cealasaigh SwimCamp with Gary - 25.04.2025

Gary got in contact with me recently about wanting to give SwimCamping a go. Having met up and been swimming as well as chatting about kit etc..the time came for his first island adventure, with myself opting for Cealasaigh. The forecast stayed true with a wet and windy Friday evening but the sunny Saturday morning made it even better. Going to Cealasaigh we swam through the Kyle's before landing on the slipway on Little Bernera for a boggy stomp over to the lagoon where the colours are just beautiful followed by a wee swim across to the stoney shore on Cealasaigh itself. Camp was set up before dinner and darkness. Too many clouds for any starry sky gazing and too wet for a campfire on the shore. The seals in the lagoon were still there on Saturday morning waiting for us to get back in the sea again as we took a different route back across to Little Bernera and also back to Bosta beach. I think Gary enjoyed his first dive into the mad world of SwimCamping, he certainly did well and had all the required gear from his bike packing days..

    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.​
