HEBSEASWIMMER - A HEBRIDEAN SWIM ADVENTURER

Aird Ranish SwimHike - 02.09.2022

I knew it was going to be a good outing after seeing 5 Evel Knievel charity biker's, a deer and a goat (can't mind the last time I saw one) on my way to start the SwimHike over in North Lochs this morning. Swimming from a shore in Poll Skut to a nearby shore only to be welcomed by half a dozen highland cow's staring at me. I made my way over to and up Beinn Mhor for breakfast at the trig point. The 360 view's are stunning from there. Definitely recommended. Then it was down to the bay at Port a'Ghlinne Muigh for a swim with the incoming tide in Loch Grimshader to land in the shore at the bottom of school hill. Once dried and changed I walked back to the van. A fantastic loop and one that Grant, Stuart and myself did around 4 years ago.

    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.
