Dawn Chorus River Pool Swim - 19th April

• Listen to the dawn chorus before swimming in an Upper River Tweed pool
• Identify bird calls on the walk to the river
• Share a snack and wild-foraged Kelly kettle tea afterwards

Come and join a small group for a magical spring morning. Up early with the lark we will walk to our swim spot in the company of the dawn chorus. Taking time to listen before we swim, see which bird calls we can identify before swimming in one of the pools of the Upper River Tweed. We will dip in the river somewhere between Stobo and Drumelzier, exact location to be be advised closer to the time depending on conditions.

After we'll share a snack and a wild foraged kelly kettle tea.

If river levels are too high for a safe swim another location will be offered.

Previous experience of wild swimming is required and you must be comfortable to walk over uneven ground.

Personal swim kit, with plenty of warm layers for afterwards.

Suitable footwear for walking on uneven terrain.

Water shoes are essential.

A snack to share.

We will walk a short distance, less than half a mile, to our river pool where we will swim. After there will be time for a wild foraged Kelly kettle tea and shared snack.
