Bristol Chapter
Sunday cold water dips at Conham River Park on the River Avon. Free to join, all men welcome.
Conham River Park, Avon
Every Sunday meet us at 7.45am for 8am dip at Conham River Car Park. Gather in the car park for a brief meet-and-greet. As a pack, we stroll to our sacred spot by the river - a serene haven opposite Beese's, marked by a welcoming bench, a coat-hanging spot, and convenient steps with a ladder leading into the embracing cold of the river.
Spot us easily - a group of men, clad in Dryrobe®. We do warm welcomes; so if you're new please do introduce yourself before we leave. Our ritual is simple yet profound. We pause to embrace the moment, engage in breathwork and movement and then - the plunge! No pressure, just encouragement to embrace the cold at your own pace. Experienced dippers are there to guide newcomers.
Post-dip, we instruct you on some further warm ups and finally get changed where we revel in the afterglow - with hot drinks by the river or at a nearby café. Please fill out the Waiver form if you plan to join us and provide evidence of this when you arrive. You always dip at your own risk.
