'Jog and Dip' - an Outward Bound tradition







We can see Loch Eil from the grounds of our accommodation. I decide to 'fire off' a few frames before the light fades. Ben Nevis can be seen looking back towards Fort William.

Later that afternoon, the Gordon Clan change into their swimming gear and jog gently down towards Loch Eil. After donning their life-jackets, it's time for a swim. This is an OB favourite. The water can only be described as cold and salty, but is a superb antidote to sitting on a coach. After the short swim back to shore, or climbing up the ladder back onto the jetty, it's time for a nice warm bath or shower...
