One was to swim in River Truim as it flows north in Badenoch into the Spey. Most of the river is calm and flat, but in parts the water has chiselled its way through the granite resulting in a series of waterfalls. Calum swims upstream which proves challenging until he comes to Salmon’s Pool and a chance for some dynamic fun in the water.
