Beginish Island swim

[lindaclarke]

Hi Pablo,

I did this swim a few years ago and would highly recommend it. Very well organised. You swim around the island, so just try to keep the tightest line to certain points on the island. You reach the most exposed part, about half way around and I think there is a lighthouse on Valentia Island that is good for sighting at that point. I remember finding the last bay extra long, but I was swimming without a wetsuit and was starting to get cold at that stage. Enjoy!

Hey Pablo!

Best of luck tomorrow – have a good one and take care out there!

The forecast from met.ie was ok for tomorrow (bad for today and Sunday), so I was confident it would go ahead. But it was cancelled this afternoon! They also cancelled the contingency swim (which actually would have been longer, from Portmagee to Knightstown, ~8km). Pity.

Linda, thanks for the tips, hopefully I’ll have the chance to do it some other time.
