Join local authors and wild swimmers Matt Newbury and Sophie Pierce for a fun and fascinating talk about their adventures exploring the beautiful coastline of South Devon. Their book, Beyond the Beach: the secret wild swims of Torbay, was first published in 2013, and since then they have written three more wild swimming guides, with a fourth on the way.
To celebrate the 10th birthday of Beyond the Beach, it is being republished this year with a new name - Wild Swimming Torbay - and a new format which includes maps as well as information on tides and safety. Sophie and Matt will share stories from a decade of swimming in the English Riviera, and will cover the history, geology, flora and fauna of this stunning section of coast. They will also be showing stunning images by local underwater photographer Dan Bolt. And if you feel inspired, their books will be on sale!
Refreshments will be available.
Tickets £5 from the library or online - please watch this space for more information.
