Uig SwimHike - 09.06.2025

I'd been eyeing up this route for a while now, so when the opportunity arose, even if it was a bit wet, we decided to gear up and go for it. Gary and Stuart came along, leaving one vehicle at Gisla (end of route) and taking another vehicle to Loch Suainaebhal (beginning of the route). We swam for an hour over to the bay beneath Sron Ri Gaoith at Gleann Ghunnarstail before heading up and over to Loch Gruineabhat, with the plan of having a late lunch on the island on the loch. The rain never cleared away until we'd finished swimming for the day but the silver lining was (as well as the spectacular views) at least the midge's never appeared. After Gruineabhat, we hiked on towards the dam at Loch Coirceabhat and finished back at Gisla. It's definitely a route I'd do again and I think Gary and Stuart would too.
