DERWENT RESERVOIR, CONSETT, COUNTY DURHAM
Great swim
Changing facilities were a little limited if the weather turned out to be an issue. The walk from car park to start was longer than expected.
Overall great day though.
Tamara Turchet
Beautiful setting for a swim event
Please consider some additional buoys on the back leg... its really hard to see them against the sun!
Any chance of a coffee cart at the site?
Any chance of adding a 10k swim to the offering?
Thanks, as always, love this swim!
Emily Appleby
Was a well organised event, friendly atmosphere
Victoria Bates
Lovely relaxed, but organised vibe. Not too big, not too small!
Re sustainability. It would be nice to see recycling bins for all the cans being used and discarded. It would be nice to offer goodies which didn't include single use water bottles.
Scott Ramsay
Great event
The marking on the long loop needs to be improved. It was incredibly difficult to spot the first buoy as you turned back. An extra buoy or two would have helped enormously
Heather Swan
Fabulous scenery
Well-organised event, fabulous scenery, and great merch!
Mike Walker
Great location beautiful location, friendly relaxed and helpful support crew.
To be even better I would clear the first few meters of the water entrance and exit of large boulders. I got there quite early 7.30 and would be happy to help. Otherwise I couldn’t fault the experience and will be signing up as soon as I can for next year.
Lee Shaw

Mark Hood
Superb event. Absolutely loved the day.
Ali Merritt
Rustic, chilled, friendly vibe
- gluten free snacks at the end please for us Coeliacs! None of the chocolates or the oat bars were gluten free :(
- you mentioned bag drop when booking and there definitely wasn’t. Not a problem but just so people are clear from the start
Otherwise very good thank you!!!!!
Jamie Turnbull
Great event
Loved the event. Have been entering a lot of races this year. This was a lovely one. I can’t really feed anything back other than it would have been nice to have a course map prior to the event. I like knowing what I’m doing ahead of time, but that is very minor. The briefing summed it all up nicely. Thank you.
