Fiordland, South Island, New Zealand
Just been over in New Zealand for a couple of weeks, touring, walking and managing to have the occasional swim. One of my favourite swims was in Lake Marian. It's in a gorgeous setting in a glacially-formed, hanging valley surrounded by the Darren Mountains.
The water was clear and blue and very, very cold. I swam for a maximum of five minutes, including a duck dive that made my head ache.
wow amazing! chilly but wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteProbably the coldest swim I've had for a good many years. Although, the Tasman Sea on the West Coast of the South Island was so cold that I didn't actually swim there. I paddled in to test the temperature, and paddled out with numb legs.
