Another day swimming in the River Tay.
14km covered, from Logierait to Dunkeld.
Blazing sunshine, I was overdressed in the surf wetsuit!

Moonlit swim.
Day 3 of swimming the River Tay in a year.
Under the bright Worm Moon, I swam from Grandtully to Logierait. 7km, water down to 5.9°C.
A moving mediation with the moon guiding me.

Another 6.5km of the River Tay swam today: Aberfeldy to Grandtully.
Every month I'm swimming a section, all the way until December.

Yesterday I swam down the River Tay, from Kenmore to Aberfeldy.
13km, 2 hours in 6-7C° water.
A sensational day out.
