Hembury Woods beckons the Dipper(s)

Saturday 6th November and Dani (The Dipper) and Steve were certainly up for joining us for a chilly dip in the delightful Dart. Unlike our last dip in Hembury Woods it was quite hard to submerge our toasty warm bodies into the icy waters and ice-cream headaches were par for the course.

A startlingly refreshing swim, which my now fairly rotund middle seemed to enjoy (31 weeks pregnant) and thankfully my extra coating seems to keep me warmer for longer so whilst my trusty companions talked of 'still chilly buttocks' and 'ever so cold toes' I felt warm as toast as we wandered through the lovely woods after our dip.

I look forward to my next trip here, it's becoming one of my best loved pools on the Dart.
