Experience the invigorating blend of sea swimming and adventure with this unique taster session. Designed to offer a refreshing escape, this experience allows you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the North Northumberland coast. Guided by Hayley, a Wild Swimming Walking Guide and Outdoor and Adventure Therapist, you will explore a serene bay and enjoy a warm, communal moment around a portable wood-burning stove.
Upon arrival, you'll gather at a small, free car park near Amble or Boulmer. You can decide which option you prefer when booking. From there, a short and easy walk will lead you to a secluded, shallow bay—ideal for those who prefer not to swim out of their depth. The bay's sheltered location ensures a comfortable swimming experience, even for those new to the activity.
After your swim, Hayley will set up a portable wood-burning stove on the beach. This inviting setup will provide warmth and comfort as you relax and enjoy a hot beverage from your flask. The session is designed to be a shared experience, with the possibility of interacting with fellow adventurers, although private group options are also available for a more personalised outing.
This adventure takes place along the scenic North Northumberland coast, renowned for its beauty and serene landscapes.
The meeting points near Amble or Boulmer offer easy access to the beautiful coastal scenery, making for a delightful day out.
Participants should be comfortable with the thought of swimming in cold water, and able to swim at least one type of stroke. No prior experience of wild swimming is required, but a basic level of fitness will enhance your enjoyment.
