Totnes Swim

Last night Steve asked when I was going to try out our local swim spot...

I had been a little hesitant to swim in the Dart in Totnes, as down past the weir, right in town, it looks less than appetizing.

But on the hottest day of the summer, there were hoardes of teenage boys sunning themselves, post swim on the banks up past the weir... and apparently, teenage boys know good swimming spots.

Steve half jokingly said- "Tomorrow morning before work, we can try it out".

He woke me at 7am and said it was time to go, I replied that if I'm getting out of bed, he better be getting in the water!

What a perfect morning it was for the first Totnes swim. The sun was just beginning to warm the grassy riverside, and the water was black and mirror like.

I did one loopy lap by myself, and another with Stevie.

The shot pans to Little Riverside

Arrr a blissful start to the morning!!
