Traigh Sheilibhig SwimHike - 07.05.2022

7/5/2022

A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon with friends, by taking a hike over the moor to traigh sheilibhig, a stunning oasis between the village's of Gress and Tolsta. We had a swim round to the arch and cave with the water being so clear in places it was just amazing. The cave also has a beach in it. The smell of the bird poop is pretty funky. We've been there before at a higher tide and been able to swim into the cave. The 30 minute hike back to the car's warms you up nicely.

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.
