This probably sounds a stupid question but has anyone swam from the beach at Bunree ?

    No! But you could if you wanted, a bit sharp underfoot on the stones and a bit chilly. Our children used to go in  further down the loch at Port Appin but there were often jelly fish around.

    You will be fine in a wetsuit and something to protect your feet from pebbles. Warmest time of year is September, Gulf Stream and all that. Look,out for seals though.😁

    Aldi has wet suits from £20, shorty ones.

     when we went to Bunree the other year, it was possible to get as wet while out of the water as it was in it! 🙄

    Someone came to my aid in Mallorca, I could smell Fish & Chips as she helped me🤷🏻‍♂️. It was vinegar, the Lady told me she carries it whenever on a beach, it lessened the pain for sure-didn’t stop the swelling mind. I never ever go on a beach anywhere in the World without some Boardies or similar👍🏻

    When my dad was alive I saw him regularly and once a year we would take the caravan for a weeks fishing holiday. About 30 years ago whilst fishing the estuary by Caernarfon we came across a chap sitting on the step of his camper with his foot in warm water. I put his kettle on and raised the temperature slowly. Sat with him for around 20 mins and left his kettle to hand.

    About an hour or so later he walked to where we were fishing. He said his foot was still a little sore but not the previous agony laughing

    Also good for giving relief from nettle stings too.
