Still busy at the camp - dart 10k swim again!

River Dart at Sharpham

September has arrived and the nights are starting to draw in.  The camp is still busy and this weekend we will welcome the influx of swimmers taking part in the annual Dart 10k open water swimming event.  The intrepid entrants get into the water at Totnes and swim down river to Dittisham.  In the past 7 years we have been running our camp we have welcomed participants to stay with us every year.  This year the river levels are still very low due to the heatwave and lack of rain over the summer months.  Hopefully this will be of benefit to the entrants of the swim.  Back at the camp the swallows are swarming and looking likely to leave soon for their annual migration back to Africa for the winter, and its getting dark around 8pm at the moment with some glorious sunsets for our lucky guests.  The picture above is of the river Dart at Sharpham, home to our local vineyard.  The award winning wine is excellent, and this year they will have a bumper crop.  Its well worth visting to go on the wine and cheese tasting tour or just taking a leisurely stroll along the river dart in this stunning location.
