Harvest Full Moon Swim and Fire
This harvest full moon, just after the equinox, marks the tipping into autumn, come and mark this moment with a dusk swim and fire at Fruid Reservoir.
Come and dip at dusk with glowing tow floats and then, in the growing darkness, gather around a warm fire for hot drinks, good company and a seasonal story.
This is not about swimming any distance but enjoying being in the water together. We have time to slow down, notice nature around us and get to know each other.
With luck we will be lit by the light of the harvest moon.
After meeting at the crossroads we will continue along the road to Fruid Reservoir. Parking by the damhead we have a 10 minute walk to our swim spot on a gently sloping gravel beach.
We will take our time to meet each other, slow down and arrive in this beauitful place. Before getting in the water we will light a small fire to gather around after our swim. With torches in our tow floats we will enter the water together in the dusk.
After there will be time to chat around the fire, maybe a seasonal story and wild foraged kelly kettle tea and shared snacks.
Come and mark this moment in the seasonal calender in good company.
