The River Dart – Holne
I’m reluctant to put the place name of this location in writing because it was the nicest swim that I’ve had in ages. It’s not a secret place, by any means, but perhaps being told through word of mouth myself made it feel like one.
A short walk from a car park, and we were near a large, open pool — with hardly anyone nearby. I swam for longer than I should have trying to reach a small waterfall at the far end. Luna doggy-paddled with all her might in an effort to try and eat a duckling (Matt, in horror, chased after her and put a stop to the pursuit).
At the end, no one was around and so we stripped for the last five minutes, enjoying the giddy coolness of a cold bath in the Dart.
I am fundraising for the Samaritans. 20% of donations will also go two local projects: The Seal Project & Shoalstone Sea Pool. If you would like to know more, please click here.
