Paul Finnegan and Colin Macleod will be attempting to solo swim the Big Minch Channel between the Western Isles & Mainland UK in the summer of 2019 to raise funds for Western Isles Community Care Forum and Cancer Research UK.
No man has ever completed a solo swim across the Big Minch Channel and hopefully 2019 is the year. Colleen Blair successfully became the first person to complete a crossing of the Big Minch channel on the 8th July 2018. Colin is having his second attempt on the Big Minch after being rescued when he became separated from his support crew during the 2018 challenge.
Both Paul and Colin successfully swam the 17 mile Little Minch Channel in June 2018, from the Isle of Skye to the Isle of Harris, raising funds for their chosen charities.
The swim route, as shown below, is from Lemreway (Isle of Lewis) to Gairloch which will be happening, weather depending, in June 2019. It is 25 miles across (longer than the English Channel) and hopefully we will have some decent weather with us.
