Waterfall and Dipping Pool Microadventure
Do you love abit of an adventure?
Would you like to dip in crystal clear water of an upland burn, sit in nature's cold water jacuzzi?
Come and join a small group of only 6 for a swim microadventure to this beautiful wild place where I saw my first golden eagle. We will visit 2 pools and you can dip in them both or just one.
This trip is in the Upper Tweed, location will be given after booking to keep this place special.
There will be a post swim kelly kettle wild foraged tea and a bring food to share picnic.
(The photo is not where we are going, it's just to tempt you.)
After meeting we will begin our walk up this beautiful valley, pausing to take time to slow down in nature and switch off from the outside world. Our route is a steadily uphill on a good but uneven track through this magical valley stopping to take in the river and the scerenry. The top pool is around a 30 minute walk.
There are 2 pools we will visit for a dip and you can dip in both or just one and enjoy sitting alongside the rushing waters.
I'll provide a wild foraged kelly kettle tea and we'll share a picnic.
