St Kilda, Outer Hebrides ♥️

Who’s up for a St Kilda Adventure in 2025? 🏊🏼‍♀️🥾🛥️ We have taken quite a few swim trips to St Kilda with some of the best memories! We stopped running trips in 2024 as 2023’s weather was so challenging. Thank goodness we stopped in 2024 too… those operating boat tours will understand 😅 but we’re tentatively considering putting a few on for 2025 but only with your encouragement!

Would you book a one day trip with us to St Kilda?

One of the most breathtaking, awesome, unforgettable archipelago’s in the Atlantic Ocean. A UNESCO world heritage site coveted by many, visited by few ♥️

Let us know in the comments 🙏

I was reminded of this footage today and I’m sharing it again for anyone who might not be aware that this can happen when you have big seas and a narrow bay. Watch to the end. This is for walkers and swimmers.

This is Port Stoth in Ness, Isle of Lewis and I still see people saying this is a safe beach to swim at. There is no such thing as a ‘safe’ beach. There are some beaches with fairly benign conditions most days but this can change with storms that change the beach or power of waves. I’ve had some of my best swims at Stoth but only because of experience and understanding. Walking on this beach in these conditions could be deadly.

You can see the waves pouring in filling the beach with each one adding more power and motion but it’s the retreating part that most people wouldn’t have a hope in. Not to scare but make you aware.

Be careful beach walking with the storms we’re having just now ⚠️

Stunning first light swim and quick warm up in the sauna while it heats up. Did you know jumping into a hot sauna after a longer cold water swim can have adverse effects? Most saunas are at 80C and above.

Always rewarm slowly after a cold water swim or just dip quickly if using a hot sauna after. Our sauna temp at the Saltbox Sauna was 50C which was perfect to get changed and heat up in. 🌡️ 🔥

The Sea looks amazingly calm today.. but look at the energy coming through from the swell from the Minch. How does that affect us as we continue sea swimming throughout the winter? How can you assess whether to go in.. or more importantly get out when it looks so lovely and inviting?

Find out how to assess the sea conditions on our popular sea swimming course starting tonight at 8pm.
