Wild Swimming in the Mountains- Bloody Bridge

We had the most wonderful day swimming in the mountains recently.

‘The Smuggler’s Head’

We decided to visit the Bloody Bridge area, as it’s great for taking in the sea and mountains. It’s also a suitable spot for our little pup Frida.

It was Frida’s first time going for a walk on cliffs and it was like watching a little mountain goat. She also swam for the first time! We were two very proud mummies.

We went on the most gorgeous walk round Bohill Nature Reserve with our little Frida yesterday morning.

It was a steep, but short trek; perfect for tiring out our little pup, but not overdoing the amount of time she’s allowed to walk at her age either.

What a day for exploring a new place! We all absolutely loved it. It was so nice to see some spring colours too. I should have brought my paints!
