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.
