HEBSEASWIMMER - A HEBRIDEAN SWIM ADVENTURER

A well and truly epic SwimCamp adventure with Stuart and Dave going from the eagle observatory path at mhiabhaig out past lochs scourst and bhoisimid (the loch that gave jm barrie the idea about mary rose. We even met the owner of Amhuinnsuidhe Castle) then after coming off the path we bumbled down the river in the part's that was safe to, towards tota choinnich and on to our base for the night at ceann loch reasort. Stuart spotted a white tailed sea eagle. Setting up camp on the Uig side of the river, we had a look around both settlement's. The midge's were fairly rife but thankfully we had our net's to cover our heads. In the morning we swam round with the outgoing tide to dirascal (settlement) and hiked over to loch uladal for a swim through it then we hooked up with the path (we spotted an eagle up near sron) and plodded on to loch aiseabhat to swim along it (misty in parts) to meet up with the path again. Stuart and myself swam part of loch chliostair, obviously keeping well away from the dam. Then the 3 of us headed back to the car at mhiabhaig. A full 20 mile loop of breathtaking scenery in great company. We had a laugh coming up with name's for the route such as "where eagle's don't dare", "next of kinlochreasort", "the last reasort"..... final thanks goes to Kellie, for taking around 60 tick's out of me.

    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.
