Very well done to our own Clare Marshall who set a new personal best and a challenge to all keen open water swimmers this week.

The outdoor instructor from the Raasay House Outdoor Activities Centre decided to ring in the new month by swimming the Sound of Raasay over to Skye on Wednesday the 1^st of September. 

Along with companion and keen open water swimmer Roy Armstrong, Clare had reached the coast of Skye after only being in the water an impressive 20 minutes and had returned safe and sound back on Raasay after only 55 minutes in total.

A very respectable time for this icey stretch of water. Clare and Roy both hailing from Glasgow, thoroughly enjoyed the swim and rounded off the evening with a well deserved meal and celebratory dram in the Raasay House Hotel.
