HEBSEASWIMMER - A HEBRIDEAN SWIM ADVENTURER

Sheshader SwimHike - 29.08.2025

I felt like a nearby SwimCamp excursion to Dun Dubh which is on the coast between the Point villages of Sheshader and Upper Bayble. Parked up the van and hiked to the usual bay I get in at, close to Rubha na Grèine where the views across the Minch to mainland Scotland are spectacular. Getting in and out of the cove is always a bit of fun, manageable with caution. I started swimming over to the channel at Eilean na Grèine then into Bàigh a Tuath which is just an adventure paradise with nooks and crannies to explore plus arches to swim or scramble through along with wildlife galore. Sheer swim bliss. Remember it's all about having a fantastic time whilst also keeping safe. Unfortunately when I got back on land the midges were rife and I'd left my midge net in my camping bag up the hill (oh no!). Midges 1 Colin 0 🙈🤣 I sacked going camping, headed home and had a lovely evening with Kellie.

    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.

    Feel free to get in touch via the contact forms at the top of the page.​
