My 1st outing of actual wild swimming, our Christmas trip to visit family included a dip in a local beauty spot, air temp 4Β°, water temp 7.8Β°, still dark when we arrived at 0830 but very beautiful. I was welcomed by some lovely locals and as always my super hubby was there to share the great experience and take the pics ππββοΈβ
