The day I swam across Loch Quoich to climb Gairich

...Apparently she's called Lizzie.

A deliberately misleading name to keep the publicity down...

Insane but certainly different way to do things
You certainly always make interesting reading with your reports WELL DONE

[The Rodmiester]

Amazing What's next!

This is the most inspiring report I've read yet and whenever I've got anything challenging to do I will think of you powering your way across Loch Quoich on your pink lilo!

Not sure where I stand on this one tbh, on one hand I think you were very brave and only you know your swimming capabilities so kudos to you, on the other hand I think you may have been slightly irresponsible crossing the Loch with a li lo carrying all your walking gear anything could have happened cramp wind getting up li lo tipping up getting caught in an under current, I may well get slaughtered for my stance on this but I bet I'm not the only one with these thoughts

Amazing trip and report to match. Well done!

Amazing! I have thought of getting to certain hills across the water, but swimming wasn’t the way I had in mind.

Many thanks all for your comments and the links for the Loch Quoich monster.
To answer the response of concern, I completely understand it!
Without my experience in different seas and some rather difficult situations in the past (I am also an experienced scuba diver) I think I would not have tried it. I guess like hill walking you sometimes have to check your experience and act accordingly. Swimming is something I am a lot more experienced like for example rock climbing, which in a million years I would do solo.
So to those out there who want to try he same, be assured that you are a good swimmer and know what to do when you get into difficulties.

superbly crazy route into a Munro , really do think you should have continued to the summit in your wetsuit and flippers though

[goth_angel]

Can't decide if that's bonkers or brilliant. Probably both

[Borderhugh]

Respect! (From a drunken night out in London!)

[ancancha]

Very, very impressive
An entertaining great read, excellent

[tweedledog]

Magnificent madness!

[roughwalker]

Superb

Great report, certainly a different way to do it. Walking in to future ones will seem so boring now

Glad you made it back safely, dare I say you could always have rigged up a sail made from the head of a stag and some under garments Or maybe not!
