View one way down the river, there is a fence at the very edge with a tree. Then along river just trees lining the side. The sun is shining and sky is blue. Cold, crisp morning. There were  biting 30mph wind gusts though.

Two swans that came to say hello. I think they thought we might have food for them, we did not. I love how you can see their feet paddling under the water and their reflection. My little bit of daily joy.

Escaped for a swim. Really cold but really beautiful. So grateful to be able to have these moments. #wildswim #swimtounwind

River swims & rainbows. Was really cold, 15 minutes swim at 5° water temp & we saw a kingfisher! Porridge once I got home to warm up! But that was so needed. #wildswim #swimtounwind #friends #lucky #rainbows

Misty secret sauna morning. That was a much needed reset. 6 swim/jumps in the river interspersed with sauna chat & soup round fire. The traditional skinny dip as well which is always bizarrely liberating. #secretsauna #wildswim #reset #selfcare #lucky #friends #skinnydip #unwind

No actual swimming shots but a lovely swim and jump in the river this afternoon. Catching the afternoon sun. Water was 7°. So needed after 2 weeks without managing to get out to the river. #wildswim #swimtounwind #jump #coldwaterswim

Fighting the overwhelm and feeling like I want to curl up and hide by going for a dip in the river. That was cold! When I feel like shutting the world out what I actually NEED to do is get out, a walk, run or swim. The cold head rush was needed today. #wildswim #swimtounwind #livelife

Cold! Water temp 6° today. Lobster tan temperatures! Not so good coming back to a cold house with no hot water so I cant shower, but so glad I got out and did something for myself. #swimtounwind #wildswim #meadow #cold #livelife

Fire over the river towards a shed/garden house that overlooks the water. It is surrounded by trees and reflected in the water. Autumn is definitely here with orange leaves on the trees and the floor.

Swim number 15. It was a bit chilly! We were in two minds as it was 5°C early morning but by lunch it had warmed up to 10°C and the sun was shining. However we did have a few rain showers! My hat, gloves and dry robe all got an outing today. #wildswimming #wildswim #whitmorelakes

Chilly chilly swim this morning, but felt amazing. Still jumping in the river and not got any neoprene out yet, but my toes were frozen after. Water temp 10° , air temp feels like 3°. Glorious #wildswim #swimtounwind #dailyjoy #dothecrazythings #livelife

Ughh the plan was a run then a river swim between 5:30-7:30am this morning. As a general rule I always say no such thing as bad weather, just choose the right clothes. However not sure I fancy the cycle to the river in the rain AND wind. Actually may go back to bed... #running #wildswim 😬

Water is getting cooler at 12.9°C as is the outside temperature at 13°C. Not many swimming today and we virtually had the lake to ourselves. Joined by couple of ducks, two swans and a heron! #wildswimming #wildswim #swimming #whitmorelakes

Do the slightly crazy things, evening run and then swim at Whittlingham. Dark! And cold but so refreshing and just what was needed. Making 13km of running & 2 swims today. Lucky! #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #wildswim #swimtounwind #friends #selfcare #Whittlingham #norfolk

Parkrun and then a swim. Taking advantage of having son 3 at home to escape for a bit this morning, much needed. Lovely to see friends & then the chilly river swim after was the calm I needed before getting on with the day. ##running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #legorunkitten #running #wildswim
