ThePiperA 100 m swim across the slow moving Breede [Wide] River through Kariba Weed and then back again.
One step closer to my November 1600 m swim in the Velddrif Marina.

IoanSecond: Blue Hue by Natasha Brooks.
Winner of the British Mountaineering Council’s Women in Adventure film comp, plus awards at Banff. It’s about year-round naked swimming in Snowdonia. Beautiful, calm, meditative. Almost made me want to go wild swimming… but I’ve missed the acclimatisation window. If I start, it’ll be summer.

Both films together are under 20 minutes — give them a go.

mootParadoxLovely afternoon for paddleboarding along the North Tyne; calm and sunny. You can paddle 1.25km upstream from Chollerford before the current deflects you. Then I had a quick swim... it's definitely getting colder! 🥶😂 Only 6 minutes according to my Garmin, and it was beginning to feel chilly!
