Open Water Swimming Craignish 01/07/08 Depending on the weather tomorrow evening (Tuesday 1st July ) we will be swimming across Craignish Loch from the moorings next to the new village hall in Ardfern at 1830 hrs. This is on the basis that we just jump in and swim across the loch or, possibly, round a couple of buoys on a shorter course if people would prefer that. This is not an 'organised swim' - just a mutual outing.
