SwimCamping Trial - 07.07.2020

7/7/2020

Had a swim over to Little Bernera yesterday and today to test out the swim camping kit with a 'dry run' without actually having to stay over. Swam with the current, through the kyles round to Chapel beach, where I saw the helicopter hovering about. I landed and set up camp, had some scoff & a brew as well as a wander around. Today I had a play about in the lagoon, visiting a very small island and then back to Bosta. A shame to see the rubbish on the shingly shore. Will be fantastic when allowed to camp there for real. Duckman was saying an average of 12.5 degrees.

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.
