Fuaigh Mòr SwimCamp - 10.06.2023

After a busy week at work and glorious weather, what better way to enjoy the weekend by going SwimCamping over to the island of Fuaigh Mòr which sits between Bernera and Uig. Stuart and myself swam from the old fish farm slipway near Valasay to Eunaigh Mòr which turned out to be a bird haven, where we got zoomed in footage (from a distance) of bird eggs and possibly a baby gul too. Amazing to see. Then from there we swam over to Fuaigh Mòr, exiting at the main bay on the island. We were only there for about half an hour before our friends Dave and Helen arrived in their kayaks. Once sorted and also with midge nets on we hiked up to the top of the hill to get a good panoramic view plus hopefully a breeze (which didn't really happen till the morning) though the 360 scenery was just outstanding. The rain started during the night then got heavier but eased off by mid morning though Stuart and myself, after saying goodbye to Dave and Helen, headed down the hill and into the sea at Mol Mòr swimming round passed the fish farm and we got through the gap at Eunaigh Mòr before heading back to the slipway we started from. A fantastic way to relax and chill out with friends.

    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.
