Longlisted for The Wainwright Prize 2019. The late Lynne Roper's wild swimming diaries celebrate Dartmoor, the Devon coast, and the deep friendships that grow from shared time in nature. By turns quietly lyrical and frankly comic, this is a book for outdoor swimmers, walkers, and all who prize the wild and free.
Devon paramedic Lynne Roper began swimming outdoors in 2011 while recovering from a double mastectomy. Warm, funny and fearless, she was soon at the heart of The Outdoor Swimming Society, inspiring others to swim wild, 'read water' and take educated risks as she did. For five years, until a brain tumour made swimming and writing impossibly hard, Lynne recorded her swims in over sixty wild waters. Editor Tanya Shadrick promised to publish the diaries after a single meeting with the author in the month before she died.
