BEAT THE TIDE 4k
~ father & son, happy days! ~

This is quite a special swim, one of the most beautiful estuary swims in the UK. The level of challenge is not to be underestimated.
You will start on the beach just west of the Jetty. The swim takes you around Aberdovey Wharf and Jetty, on past the picturesque village and Penhelig corner. You will then carry on past the Roman Road, Picnic Island and The Outward Bound Trust up to a big yellow house, and to what looks like a small castle (Trefri) on an island. This "castle" will be the turnaround point. Hopefully the tide will turn just as you do... |

THE BEAT THE TIDE ROUTE
~ Tick off features: The Jetty, Penhelig Corner, Picnic Island. Ignore the pink dashed line that is a County Border! ~
It's a beach start by the yellow star on the left, following the north side of the estuary you will pass Penhelig corner, Picnic Island and reach Trefri where the "castle" stands proud. Here you turn and head back to Aberdovey...
It is highly likely that you will be swimming against a certain amount of tidal flow around the middle part of the swim, so be prepared to slog it out!
