Dark Sky Festival Stargazing Swim
Wednesday 8th November 2023 from 18:30pm to 19:30pm
Another Place - The Lake
Watermillock, Ullswater , Cumbria, CA11 0LP, North West
Swim in the lake at night under The Milky Way, the glow of your light-up tow float keeping you company under the stars. Open water swimming specialist, Colin Hill, will be your guide in the water with you. You will experience 20 – 40 mins in the water. The session will take place in the bay in front of the hotel and will include all equipment, safety briefing and guide.
We go out in most weather conditions, if it’s cloudy, we enjoy the inky blackness on the water – it’s a wonderful experience floating in Ullswater at night.
Please note that this has already taken place on 08/11/2023
