“ And stripped his
limbs to such array
As best might suit the watery way…
The
swimmer plied each active limb.”
Sir Walter Scott, The
Lady of the Lake (1847)
This tour gives you
the opportunity to experience open water swimming in
a packed weekend by swimming across some of Europe's most beautiful Lakes & Tarns and walking
on the fells in-between.
We meet at our accomodationin in the picturesque village of Grasmereon
the Friday evening followed by a pre-trip briefing explaining
the weekend in detail.
Saturday involves
swimming across the isolated and dramatic Western lakes of Crummock
Water and Buttermere. The Sunday is given to swimming
in Easedale Tarn, Grasmere and Rydal Water. All of the lakes that
we visit do not allow motor boats, so the water quality is exceptional.
It is a stunning weekend of swimming, walking and panoramic views.
The swimming guides will also work with
you on improving your technique throughout the 2 full days.
Simply a great way to spend a weekend.
