HIKE AND SWIM THE AVON...

​

For that new swim-venture, we'll explore and admire the river Avon from its surrounding hills and its amazing scenery from the water giving you the best overview of this Area Of Natural Beauty.

This adventure covers a total hilly-hiking distance of 5km and a 5km tidal assisted swim for a total of 4 hours activity.

​

The hike will take us through forests and fields on a hilly coast-path at a gentle pace to give you time to enjoy and (re) discover the river over a different perspective.

The way back to the start is a stunning 5km tidal assisted river swim starting at Aveton Gifford and finishing at Bantham beach. 

The tide helps you downstream all the way, the closer to the beach we get the faster the flow gets until we reach what is know as the "Swoosh".

We'll be lent one of our Ruckraft, a great piece of kit which allows you to swim with your hiking gear (as a tow float behind you).

If you want a private individual or group swim (we can cater for groups up to 15 swimmers) or have a specific date in mind, please contact us directly via our website or by phone on 07448627184 and we'll discuss it together.
