The Yorkshire Dippers July Newsletter
Greetings, Dippers!
It's that time of the month again when we fill your inbox with the joy of being a Yorkshire Dipper. It’s been an incredible month filled with sunshine and adventures — so let’s get into it.
🌊 Recent Dips & Adventures
First up, at the start of the month we had Vic’s birthday dip at Semerwater, where we may have picked the only miserable day of the month! Regardless, we had a wonderful time dipping in the water, cooking on the pebble beach, and — of course — eating cake.
Our next big event was the incredible Summer Solstice at Pool Bridge Farm. After setting up Camp TYD, we headed to the water — inflatables in hand, of course — for a cooling dip before returning to camp for dinner. We then swam as the sun set, and what a glorious sunset it was. Some of us even managed to squeeze in a sauna, a singing circle, or a sound bath. We finished the night with a heart-warming cacao circle led by our wonderful Dipper Marnie, where we all took a moment to reflect on everything we were grateful for.
After just a few hours’ sleep, we were back up at 3:30 a.m. to see in the breathtaking sunrise. After a bit of breakfast and a quick nap, we headed to the lake for the fourth time to enjoy the sunshine. Swim. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
To end the month, we had our ridiculously fun inflatable party at Pool Bridge Farm. An impressive collection of flamingos, peacocks, sharks, lobsters and fruit took over a whole section of the Q Lake. Those who arrived late didn’t need to ask where we were — they just followed the sounds of laughter and screaming. Some inflatables have been named some interesting things 🤣
