    My Father has been Open Water Swimming at Bray Lake in England for many, many years and always describes that his favourite part is the moment before setting off, when the early morning sun appears just above the trees and the calm water and sounds of nature create a beautiful peaceful moment.

    We joined him one September morning to try and capture this feeling in a short piece for a social media promo film for Bray Lake (check out their website here… https://www.braylake.com/ )

    Libby Bligh had been swimming with a friend near Ardersier in the Highlands on Saturday when she was stung on her hand by a lion’s mane jellyfish.

    Within a short time she was left severely unwell and struggling to breathe.

    Her friend drove her to hospital in Inverness where she spent 12 hours receiving treatment.

    Lion’s mane jellyfish are common in UK waters and seen from May until early autumn. Their tentacles can grow up to 3m (10ft) in length and are covered in stinging cells. These are used for catching fish and smaller jellyfish for food.
