Refresh the soul with a icy dip
February 15th 2021
While Witherslack is known for being cyclist friendly you don’t have to come on two wheels. There’s plenty of other activities to get stuck into when things are back to normal, a bit of wild swimming perhaps?
The Lakes have some of the best wild swimming spots in the UK. Clear tarns in peaceful locations, not much more a wild swimmer could ask for. Windermere the ‘lake of the lakes’ so to speak isn’t far away and offers brilliant scenery for the more advanced swimmer, of course you don’t have to swim the whole 11 miles. Morecambe bay is great for sea swimmers. What better way to help relieve the lockdown blues by booking a trip in a fabulous hostel? Affordable accommodation in amazing locations. Enquire to find out more about availability post lockdown.
