September Mountain Swim Retreat is well underway.

After some long drives from Devon, South Wales and Sheffield everyone is settled in and first swim ticked off.

Cool water, a fun flowing river, sunshine on our faces.

What a beautiful spot to start our weekend.

Name a more picturesque swim spot in North Wales?

With a backdrop of Yr Wyddfa and the sun shining it really doesn't get much better.

What does a Mountain Wild Swim Retreat look like...?

5 epic swims in rivers, lakes and waterfalls.

Longer walks off the beaten path to remote mountain lakes.

You'll need to...
- Be happy walking on uneven ground
- Not mind some hills.
- Bring a sense of adventure and a swimming costume!

Our next Mountain retreat is just around the corner.

Friday 4th - Sunday 6th September.

Last few spaces available, prices from £375pp all inclusive, single occupancy rooms and all the tasty food.

Scrambling is pretty awesome.

Using your arms massively distracts from the steep mountain you're going up.

A good eye for route finding is key.

Nimble toes and ideally no false nails!

Booking a guide is a real confidence booster.

There's something wonderful about being in moving water.

Your body feeling out of control.

The soft, bubbling, aerated water tickling you as it rushes down river.

Daily worries being left firmly on the riverbank.

A childish feeling of play.

It's good to be silly. It's good to laugh. It's good to share this with other people.

The week that just keeps giving....

Taking these 5 smiley women up Tryfan yesterday was in the words of Vicky...."Boss"!

Incredible weather.

A quiet mountain.

Challenges were faced and overcome.

High fives, flapjack, a wild swim and loads of laughs.
