Wild Swimming from High Moss

20/07/2019 - 21/07/2019 All day

I am hoping to start the weekend early with a dip in Wast Water on Friday afternoon. Then, a couple of swims based around Grasmere/Rydal Water on the Saturday – a total of about 4km. We will lay on canoe support if needed. This will be suitable for experienced and inexperienced outdoor swimmers alike – but being able to swim a half mile in a pool is essential. Sunday, I am considering something more challenging but a chance to talk about this on Saturday over a glass of wine! A return to Coniston, looking at a potential end to end. I am intending for this to be done in a relaxed manner with stops on the shore to walk out cramp and take on sustenance. You can join in for all the swim, or just part. This swim will require use of a tow float and canoe support will be laid on. Anyone who would like to support, turning up with food , encouragement and carrying warm clothing for anyone taking a shorter option would be appreciated and get you lovely comments in the meet report. I will be preparing a meal at High Moss on Saturday evening and Gareth will have plenty of jelly babies in the canoe! Can I have names Tuesday beforehand
