Britain's What's On Event Guide
Monsal Head Walk and Wild Swim - Peak District
Take a walk through a White Peak Dale, listen to the sounds and see the sights of this serene gem then submerge in its cool waters in a safe river pool with waterfalls to play in.
This session is suitable for all levels and takes around 4 hours depending on how fast we walk, how much we chat and how long we spend in the water. A very relaxed affair. There’s plenty of opportunity to stop and enjoy the view and chat along the way.
The walk is a circular of 7km with an elevation gain of 250m. Suitable for complete beginners to wild swimming as well as those looking to expand their outdoor swim journey.
What's included
Experienced, evidence led guiding. Full guidance on cold water immersion and wild swimming will be provided.
Water shoes and neoprene gloves (for those who don't yet have their own)
Homemade cake.
What to bring
Swim kit
Appropriate clothes for the day
Walking boots or trainers
A comfortable rucksack
Drinks
Post swim homemade cake is included but feel free to bring a packed lunch if you think you'll need it.
A full recommended kit list will be sent via email nearer to the event.
Meeting point
Monsal Head, Peak District
Final meeting point will be sent through via email nearer to the event.
Good to know
You must be able to swim a minimum 50m and be confident treading water.
This will be a gentle paced walk. We have a climb of around 250m into and out of the valley. There are some steep sections but there'll be plenty of rest stops along the way. No-one gets left behind.
