An treas streath a’ leantail Chaluim MhicIlleathain a’ snàmh ann an uisgeachan reòite ann an àrainneachd iomallach. Tha Calum airson a h-uile seòrsa snàimh a dhèanamh agus rinn e liosta pearsanta air diofar lochan: an loch as àirde, an loch as doimhne agus an snamh as fhaidte dhan iar. Tòrr dheth na h-àiteachan ‘s fheàrr leis, chan eil iad air an sanasachd agus a dh’fheumas oidhirp air leth an ruighinn. Mar a chanas e fhèin, “’S toigh leam a bhith snàmh a-muigh nam aonar, gun duine beò ri fhaicinn”. Thagh e deich àiteachan air feadh Alba far am bith e a’ snamh saor, nam measg Eilean Bhatarsaidh, Loch Mòrar, Gleann Èite, Eilean Stafa agus Loch Airceig. Anns a’ chiad phrògram, chur e dùbhlan roimhe fhèin, snàmh ann an loch gu math àrd sna beanntann faisg air a’ Chomraich. Tha Lochan na Poite duilich faighinn thuca ach cha do chur sin riamh stad air Calum!
A series following Calum MacLean as he shares his passion for swimming in remote lochs and rivers. There is nothing that Calum loves better than finding far-flung locations for outdoor swimming, and in this third series, he is determined to try swims on his personal wishlist - amongst them the most fun swim, to swim in the highest loch, the deepest loch and to swim at the most westerly beach in Scotland. He has chosen ten of his favourite places throughout Scotland, most of which are not well known and difficult to access without strenuous endeavours. As he states himself, 'I love to swim outdoors alone with no living person to be seen'.
The locations featured include Vatersay, Loch Morar, Glen Etive, Staffa and Loch Arkaig. As always, Calum is keen to challenge himself and in this first episode, he hopes to swim in Lochan Na Poite near Applecross. First though, he has to locate the lochs high up in the hills. And it’s snowing and misty! Show less
