Winter Well with Blue Space

Winter Challenge : 1 November 2026 – 31 January 2027

The Challenge: Complete 30 outdoor blue activities during the 3 months and help raise funds for Blue Space Highland.

  1. Minimum of £25 donation entry – entry supports the work of Blue Space Highland. 

  2. Complete 30 outdoor blue water activities in 92 days. You decide when and how you complete them.

  3. Any blue outdoor activity counts – on, near, by or in the water. 

For example: walking by a blue space, wild swimming, dipping, paddleboarding, hiking/ cycling/ running to a Loch / lake, beach / river bank yoga, singing by the water, or simply getting outside in the rain or snow

  1. Blue space is part of this challenge.   We want people to enjoy the outdoors and connect with water and nature wherever they can.

  2. One activity = one challenge entry/activity. Keep a simple record of your 30 activities.

  3. This is not a race or competition. There are no prizes for going faster, further or colder.  The aim is participation, wellbeing, connection and supporting Blue Space Highland.

  4. You can be part of the Winter Well with Blue Space community through our Whatsapp channel

  5. We will promote the NHS 5 steps to well being throughout the challenge – connect with others, be physically active, learn a new skill, give to others, pay attention to present moment - noticing

  6. Stay within your own abilities. Check weather and conditions, use appropriate clothing/equipment and never feel pressured to enter cold water or undertake an activity that feels unsafe.

  7. Cold-water swimming is optional. Wetsuits, gloves, boots and other safety equipment are absolutely allowed. This is not an ice-swimming challenge.

  8. Share the journey if you want to. You can share photos and activities and tag Blue Space Highland, but posting publicly is not required to complete the challenge.

  9. Have fun and support the charity. The purpose is simple: get by, near, on, in water outdoors, support your wellbeing, connect with nature and raise funds for Blue Space Highland.
