West Side SwimHike - 15.08.2020

15/8/2020

West Side of Lewis SwimHike. Walked over to Tom Tolaige and also to see Stac a Phris. This coastline is just awesome. Had a wee swim near the arch at Tom Tolaige but deemed it unsafe to attempt a swim through. The sunlight beaming through was amazing to watch. Duckman was saying a choppy 13.6 degrees. Have to say that the Lomo shoes are great for walking over stones. Favourite adventure swimming footwear in 10 years.

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.
