A more direct training swim this time from the Braighe to Portnaguran rather than hugging the coast. I had planned to swim back with the incoming tide but I timed it wrong (I was quicker than I thought I would be) and the tide still had another hour or so till it turned. So it was a shorter swim than expected but still enjoyable all the same. Many thanks to Zander for the lift back to the van at the braighe. #point360challenge www.point360challenge.co.uk Click here to view the YouTube video.

More open water swim training for my Point360Challenge over the summer months which is attempting to swim round the Point peninsula (approx 18 miles - link below) whilst others in the team are doing different activities, all to raise money for The Leanne Fund. On the Broadbay side of the Braighe, a mix of having to swim around the outside of the big reef due to the low tide until it came in far enough so I could swim on the inside of the reef. Plodded along and managed 16k before getting out. Spotted an old wheel that's obviously been there for a while and on the return leg of my last lap, I noticed a fish jumping quite high out of the sea. The sort of things you don't get in your local swimming pool - unless it's really odd 🙈🤣 Music by Beluga Lagoon: https://www.belugalagoon.com/ Point360Challenge link: www.point360challenge.co.uk #point360challenge Click here to view the YouTube Video. Thanks to DK for the cool footage of Kellie (kayaking) and myself (swimming) from Bayble to Portvoller, passing the likes of Dun Dubh (Black Sandy) and Sheshader Bay. Our challenges aren't going to be easy on the day but I guess that's why they call them challenges 😊 You can find out what the Team are up to over the summer months and also donate to The Leanne Fund, via our website below: www.point360challenge.co.uk #point360challenge Click here to view the YouTube Video. Thanks to DK (boat support) for being available today for a recce, for our upcoming Point360Challenge, between Bayble and Portvoller with Kellie (kayaking) and myself (swimming). Seemed to get to Sheshader bay in a decent time but it took a while to get across it, just chipping away against the current. It was good to see the houses at Portvoller and many thanks to Annemiek for a lift back to the van at Sheshader, saved a walk for us. Great to view some of the Point coastline from sea level.... #point360challenge www.point360challenge.co.uk Music by Beluga Lagoon: https://www.belugalagoon.com/ Footage might not be in the correct order....
