It must take a certain character to want to climb a mountain and then swim in a freezing cold mountain pool in the north west of Scotland, but that’s exactly what Kate Rew did for the Guardian in a recently video posted to the newspaper site.
There are of course a number of advantages to this kind of adventure such as the rugged beauty of the Cuillin Mountain range on the Isle of Skye and the spectacular crystal clear waters of the fresh mountain pools. Don’t be fooled into thinking these are little foot dipping type pools – as the video shows, some have significant depth and a magnificence all of their own.
If you don’t really fancy packing your walking boots and hiking up the Cuillin Mountains, just click the link below, sit back and enjoy the views courtesy of Kate Rew and the Guardian.
