Had a really great time. Rich was a fantastic host.

A fabulous event - Rich was welcoming, the weather was calm, sunset was stunning, sea was bracing, sauna was fantastic - it couldn't have been better.

A wet weekend in Wales, literally! Not my first retreat with the team, so I knew to expect a comfy bed, good food and fabulous support on a number of varied swims, undeterred by the weather. Scrambling down to waterfalls and plunge pools and a choppy swim across the lake - well managed, with everyone able to meet their goals safely. After all the rain the hurly burly of the Watkins path falls was a little out of my comfort zone initially, but I don’t think I’ll forget the rush of swooshing from one pool to the eddy in the next in a hurry. Ha! Mel and Rich always go out of their way to make sure everyone’s happy, and I’m not sure how they manage it, but it was somehow always dry when we’re getting changed!

A really memorable and special trip - thank you!

I had a bloomin’ lovely time! This was my second retreat with TWSC and I loved it more than the first one. The accommodation was great, the setting was amazing, I loved the walk and the the swims were just incredible! I mustn’t forgot to mention the food….👌🏻. Mel and Rich are great at what they do, but I don’t think they realise that! I’m hoping to do another one next year. Thanks TWSC ☺️.
