Swimming with sea trout - and a nudist
Sharrah Pool, between Dartmeet and Newbridge, must be the most spectacular of the Dart pools. It is fed by a cascade, from where the water thunders through a granite channel and out into a fifty metre long pool. There are stark green and white striations on the bottom as well as many other beautiful underground rock formations. I saw a shoal of at least thirty large sea trout darting around excitably like grey ghosts underneath me; the sheer number and size of them was unnerving. An older couple then appeared on the other bank and I gave them a wave. The next thing I knew, he was starkers and leaping in. Fair enough, we've all done it. Next thing, he's out and standing on a rock, master of all he surveys, where he stands for about ten minutes. Please....just put it away! (luckily my son obviously has a budding career as a paparrazo and managed to get this shot of him - see if you can spot him!!)
