Thanks to BestOutdoors for a mention in their online magazine article about SwimPacking/SwimCamping/SwimHiking. Click on the paragraph below to be taken to the full article: As wildswimming becomes more and more popular, those looking for the next level will find them self looking into swimpacking (Swim packing), swimcamping (swim camping) and Swimhiking (swim hiking) for their next level swim fix. Just as backpackers and bike packers take everything with them in one bag to sustain their wild adventures, swimpackers do the same. Hiking across remote areas, swimming across rivers, lochs and bays to find the perfect location for exploring and camping. This allows swimpackers to enjoy swimpacking adventures, places and experiences that very few people have. Like a 100 mile adventure up the west coast of Scotland, where no roads or lack of transport will hinder the adventure. Or deciding to swim from island to island in a large lake or off the coast. If you are a seasoned open water swimmer and you’re now inspired to try some swimpacking then read on for our full swimpacking gear guide.

Took Kellie to north lochs this morning for a swim to a bay on the ranish peninsula and a hike over to and up beinn Mhor (104m) for some amazing panoramic views. We had a picnic at the trig point while watching the activity in the minch and loch erisort. It's definitely a favourite place and we'll be back again.

A stunning sandy bay between gress and tolsta is traigh sheilibhig and that's where Kellie and myself headed this morning for a play about in the wave's. Great fun and the weather wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be. Click here to view the YouTube video from the outing. 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. Click here to view the YouTube video from the outing. |
