Our Local (Big) Pool

Pool swimming isn't easy living here.  It's an hour's drive to the Fort William swimming pool which has to be timed to catch the Corran Ferry.  The pool is used by the schools, so times are a little restricted.

So when we fancy a quick swim, we turn to Loch Sunart and go in at the Strontian slipway.  Two rivers enter the loch near here and after heavy rain the much colder fresh water sits on top of the sea water.  Recently it has even frozen.  However, all was good on Saturday.
