About this Event
Think misty mornings, still lakes, mountain views and autumn colours.
Ali from Always Swimming Wild will lead you in a dip/swim around the bay. This will focus on the health benefits of swimming, how exposure to the cold can help and finding your own swim spots. This will be open to swimmers/dippers of all levels, front crawlers, breast-stroke folks and doggy paddling all welcome!
After your dip you will have the opportunity to sit and sketch the view you have just swum under. You will have the opportunity to paint your own reminder of the morning. Bring along any sketching equipment you can easily carry, and warm layers to wrap up in. Diane will show you some tricks which will help you to capture the scene in watercolours.
To swim you'll need:
- Swimsuit/wetsuit and towel
- Woolly hat (possibly two, one for the water and one for after)
- Swimmg socks will be provided
- Please let the Keswick shop know if you'd like toborrow a wetsuit and they can organise one for you
To sketch you'll need:
- Something to sit on (the floor is rocky but not boggy)
- Lots of warm clothes - warm socks!
- Your own sketching equipment
- If you would like to borrow any sketching equipment please let the Keswick store know in advance
Whilst you are sketching there will be warm drinks and pastries to warm you from the inside out.
We'll meet at the National Trust car park near Calfclose Bay. The lake is a 5-minute walk from the parking.
Keep fingers and toes crossed for a beautiful morning!
