Great 👍

Great video Dave, the cold dips are the secret along with breathing techniques ❤ i await your next adventure

[@davesgreatescapes]

Absolutely. Although breathing is fast at first, if you stay in and still your breathing slows and your heart rate falls and you relax. But it's the best when you get out your vibes rise. It's not for everyone but I love it.

Nice one Dave, the swim looked great!

[@davesgreatescapes]

Cheers mate. White water always is mate 👍

Any midges there Dave? Looks amazing

[@davesgreatescapes]

I didn't camp at Glen Etive and instead drove a few miles to that peninsula on loch Linnhe because the ticks at Glen Etive were rife. Picked off 4 in 10 minutes. Midges werent too bad at all tbh. But they're always less on a saltwater loch I find, hence why I camped there

Was the water cold? Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. Like 👍4

[@davesgreatescapes]

Yes it was, but it must be less cold now because I could stay in longer. What does the number 4 signify after the 👍 Khurshid? I noticed you often put a number. You have me intrigued lol
