I’m an author and travel writer living in glorious South Devon and I spend my free time swimming from the beaches of Torbay and on the wilds of Dartmoor. I also loves to travel and am always looking for interesting, quirky and stunning places to swim across the planet; which is what this blog is about.

I have written several swimming guide books with my fellow author, Sophie Pierce, including Wild Swimming Walks: Dartmoor and South Devon, Wild Swimming Walks: Cornwall, Wild Swimming Walks: Dorset and East Devon, Wild Swimming Walks: North Devon and Exmoor and Wild Swimming Torbay. We take part in a number of events, so do get in contact if you would be interested in one of our talks. 

I am also an event manager and the Creative Director of the Agatha Christie Festival, which takes place in Torquay every September. Agatha was a keen open water swimmer throughout her life and we organise an annual one mile charity swim every year, which is hugely popular. 

If you have any tips or invitations for places to swim across the planet, do get in touch.

Thanks for visiting and happy swimming!
