Wild Swim, Wild Ride | The Dartmoor Double

  • Lovely bit of British weather for today's Wild Swim Ride but such a good day nonetheless. Laura and I took the mountain bikes up Dartmoor for a wild lake swim then had a bonus river dip on the way back.
    Please be careful, do your research and ensure you know what you're doing if you intend to either wild swim or ride on Dartmoor in the mist. Laura and I are experienced in doing this, both live locally and took back up maps, a First Aid kit, Emergency Blankets, tools and food. I'm a qualified Mountain Bike Leader and I'm Outdoor First Aid trained. Both of us have experience of cold water swimming. Please research 'cold water shock' and exercise caution.

    Why no ‘Morning?’
    I’m such a pro at all this TH-cam stuff that I forgot to add the into I recorded and went straight in with the bit where I meet Laura. Oops.

    Trust Julia to spot a stream and instantly think of a nice dip - albeit icy! Many of us would go, ‘oooh a stream, that’s nice’ … But then we would never have known how pleasant an experience a spontaneous dip can bring. :))

    Raynauds syndrome, my doctor tells it's common in people like you and I of Anglo heritaga ?
    I get it to in winter here in Canberra Australia.
    Canberra winters are really cold -5°C in the mornings being common. .
    Wild camping being illegal is understood but there's a few other youtube channels that I'm subscribed to that specialize in doing just that.
    How pretty was that little river / stream.
