Our quest today is for a solo wild swim here in Cornwall. I’ve never been swimming alone like this before and it’s now winter, so even though I REALLY wanted to do it I didn’t have much confidence in what would happen! I am a beginner swimmer who really struggles with my confidence and the cold water. As usual with Cornish wind was blowing a gale, but we found another fantastically beautiful spot on the far West coast and I had a cunning plan 🤞
Thanks for watching!
Tori and Miss Nancy x
A little about us: I adopted my ex-racing greyhound Miss Nancy three years ago, it was a massive learning curve for both of us and we have become the best of friends, who love going on outdoor adventures, wild swims, van camping and finding vegan food out and about! We make videos showing what it’s like to have a greyhound as a pet, the beautiful outdoors, vanlife, and life with a greyhound!
When we aren’t making videos I am a jeweller and illustrator, you can check out my work here:

@@missnancysdayoff We are very lucky to have our K9 companions. They certainly do brighten up life when they are by your side. The weather for the end of November is still fairly mild even up here, I was out late last night with the dog and the "winter" skies were crystal clear.. Alfie running round the park having fun, he always has a light up collar now, so I can see where he is. I lost him once in that park, for 2 and a half hours, when he was just a pup and I was frantic looking all around that neighbourhood for him. I thought my daughter was going to kill me if I came home without him. I was literally just about to give up and go home alone and he then just appeared out of nowhere. Think he'd gone into the adjoining allotments that I couldn't access little bugger 🤣

Oh my gosh nightmare, thank gosh he came back 😭 you must have felt so awful. I’ve met some people who have a tracker on their dogs collar which must be quite reassuring! And now he lights up the park and presumably leaves dancing light patterns as he runs around which is great!

In recent videos; You tried to get up early and Miss ND wanted to lie in You swam in a Lido in windy weather and Miss ND wouldn't go in You plunged into a freezing sea pool and Miss ND stayed on the rocks and slept. I think we can tell who the sensible one is 😂 I loved the line "I thought I'd stay in longer and see if I acclimatised". Very similar to saying "I thought I might as well stay in and see if the hypothermia started to wear off" 😁 BTW, on a serious note, on one of your clips you showed yourself doing some jewellery making with silver. That's such a rare and unusual skill that it would be really interesting to see a clip about how you learned to do that.

Hi, great vlog once again and thank you for filming around my beloved Cornwall showcasing it at it's best. I was raised in St.Just and Cot Valley was the beach my friends and family spent many hours on, where you had your dip unfortunately was a sewerage outfall and I don't know if that has stopped in recent times so it may be worth you doing some research if you visit again. If you go to the left of the beach on a low tide is a beautiful sandy gulley called ''Deep Sandy'' by us locals. My Uncle Tommy who was a Royal Marine, swam in there most days of the year and we all learned to swim in that gulley. Also to the left of the beach is a huge rounded bolder in the sand called ''bubblegum rock'' and it used to have a wreck of a scuttled first world war German U-boat next to it, we used to cut our feet on it in the 70's! My Dad used to have a small holding further up the valley and farmed it after working at Geevor tin mine all day, he was a legend in West Cornwall. It's a very special place for me and it warmed my heart watching it so keep up the Cornwall vlogging. Take care, Andy. 😃

@missnancysdayoff 7 ай бұрын

@ThomasTaskis Hi Andy, this was such a lovely comment to read! What a place to grow up, your dad does sound like a legend! Do you still live here now? Swimming in a sewage outfall that does sound like the kind of hapless thing I would do! 🤣🙈 I think the gulley you describe is what I was actually trying to find, I went back again and did manage to see it but I couldn’t see how to get across without getting very wet and Miss Nancy would not have that, is it possible if I hit the tide right? I’d love to swim there. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos thank you 🙏☺️

@ThomasTaskis 7 ай бұрын

My pleasure, I sadly had to relocate to Probus near Truro over 20 years ago for my career but I get back home to see my Son who still lives there, I walk my two Labradors down the valley and also Kenidjack and Cape Cornwall. There is a fantastic man made tidal pool on Cape Cornwall beach just off the slipway which Miss Nancy will easily manage, its accessible on most tides. Deep Sandy at Cot Valley is accessible across the sand on a spring tide or if you go across the stream by the car parking and walk over the top and down to the rocky beach you both may find this easier? Check the tides and go at low tide, it's nice and gentle to get in from the little sandy beach and usually quiet during the week days. Also now I live in mid-Cornwall have you visited the tidal Pool at Perranporth beach? Its to the left near the rock with the St Pirans flag flying. Always happy to give advice as there's very few places I haven't visited, happy safe adventures to you both@@missnancysdayoff 🚌🐕‍🦺🏊‍♀

@missnancysdayoff 7 ай бұрын

@ThomasTaskis I really think Kenidjack, Cape Cornwall and Cot Valley and just perfect, what I wouldn’t give for one of those houses 😍 Yes we swam in the Cape tidal pool the other day it’s really nice! When we went the eco d time to Cot Valley it was a really windy stormy day and I think the water was coming up higher than usual. I did try the path over the river to get down the other side but I couldn’t see a safe way down for Miss Nancy, and sure there are secret ways you know it just wasn’t obviously to me! But we will try again on a non windy day at low tide from the beach. I actually haven’t been to Perranporth at all so that sounds good! I am always keen to hear recommendations and advice thank you, even when I’ve found out about somewhere it can still be very hard to find the pools, I like a challenge though 😊🐕

@@missnancysdayoff We often use both North and South Coast beaches to walk our Labs, usually depends on the prevailing winds and time of year. For the North Coast try Chapel Porth, Trevaunance and Trevellas coves (St.Agnes), Polly Joke near West Pentire close to Newquay. South Coast try the Roseland beaches including Pendower, Porthcurnic near Portscatho and Towan beach near Greeb point. You will soon get used to what are dog friendly and less people milling about. All of the above are lovely for dogs and after watching several of your vlogs I think you will both appreciate them. Keep on living the dream and many safe adventures to you both 😄

I thought that looked familiar. When you get down to coast there at Cot valley facing the island "The Brisons" if you were to walk up to the next point past the big vertical outcrop you'll get to Aire Point and what the locals back in the day (when I used to surf there in the 1980's) call Eagles Beak. Which when viewed from Gwynver and Sennen looks like an Eagles head and beak. We used to dive off Eagles Beak in to a deep round pool below it. That might be worth visiting at low tide. It's on the shady side though and more than deep enough to swim in - quite small 12' across and fairly circular as I recall.

@@missnancysdayoff Great to hear how Miss Nancy is learning about co-existing with cats. I do hope videos like yours encourage people to rehome more and more greyhounds. They are excellent pets and too often treated terribly as simply 'by products' from the racing industry. They have their unique character traits and are so loving, and make great pets. People think they need loads of exercise but as Miss Nancy so often shows, they are just big lovable couch potatoes with the odd 'zoomie' session here and there.

Norway is beautiful just remember to take $$$$$.

Myself, I prefer a nice warm Cuban beach where you can snorkel for hours at a time. It is much more interesting when the ocean is alive around you. The northern regions have much less life and usually less clear water. Last thought on swimming, I'm from central Ontario and Georgian Bay has according to me, the best fresh water swimming in the world. Beautiful water and swimmable from mid-June to early October for the keeners. And the islands on the east shore around Parry Sound are lovely granite and white pines.

@johnm2879 I’ve heard it’s super pricey, oh my gosh that’s extremely cold I think it’s still 12c in the water here at the moment! Best beach I ever went to was in Cuba, one of the nicest days of my life I think. Georgian bay sound amazing I have put it on my list! 😍

Alright, I have to ask; what was the name of the beach/resort you were in in Cuba? I've been to the eastern end which is gorgeous with lovely hills and mountains while I am not keen on a beach strip like Varadero.@@missnancysdayoff

You remind me of this this crazy woman I came across on the top of Glastonbury Tor in the middle of the night during a solstice party. She was allegedly a musician and whilst doing a lot of acid she devised a business plan. Her plan was to record an album, then go and take off all her clothes, and get a photograph of her naked bathing in the White Spring, and make that the front cover of the album. This would then sell millions of copies and make her tons of money. Some guy with her was listening to all of this and saying it was a great idea. I mean what could possibly go wrong!

@missnancysdayoff 9 ай бұрын

😂 well not exactly an original plan, but I think it’s worked for quite a few people so was probably worth a shot! She didn’t have much to loose Id say and a swim in the White Spring sounds fun. I hope she made it!

@ianthompson2821 9 ай бұрын

I think greyhound cat animosity has a lot to do with racing greyhound training. The chase a fast small fury electric hare/ rabbit and a running cat looks just the same! Also greyhounds along with other hound breeds have been used by man for centuries as hunting dogs and chasing small animals is deeply embedded in their genes! The leopard can’t change its spots!

@missnancysdayoff 9 ай бұрын

From what I’ve seen of Miss Nancy her first reaction was definitely typical dog oh my gosh what’s that it’s an abomination let’s get it! And she kept looking at me asking me come on mum can’t you see it?! But I’ve definitely been able to teach her that actually they aren’t that exciting and they aren’t for her. I actually tell her they are mine so she leaves them alone 😂 They love to chase there is no doubt about that, but she loves chasing other dogs for fun and to show off as much as wanting to chase other animals more probably. I think they can be anything given enough love and training regardless of how they were brought up they are such intelligent dogs 🥰

You should have swung by and picked me up and we could have gone together......NOT! It wouldn't float my boat at all but fair play to you for doing it; let's hope you don't get a chill on your kidneys for your efforts. There's a gorge on Crete called Omalos (The Omalos Gorge.) The first part of the descent was okay but then the floor became all rocks and boulders. I was with other people otherwise I'd have died in there trying to walk over them. I think MN's ready for the old dog's home. Doing those rocks can't be good fo her very spindly legs. They look as if they could snap like twigs.

The amount of tidbits you're always giving her she should be fat with a big tummy on her. I've been doing my keyboard warrior work all afternoon smiting down the unrighteous with my sword of retribution bish bash bosh! The only thing that really interests me apart from you is finding fame and fortune as a poet and writer even at this late stage in my life. It's a pity I never found a wife who could look after my estate when I've gone to my heavenly reward where you never get bored or depressed because there's always some female company there ready to do your every bidding in paradise. Nice work if you can get it. Overall I'd say my luck's improved since I've been in Cornwall, it was absolutely dire before then, Satan's knee was pressing down on my neck all the time. It's the long term health risks you have to worry about when you're pulling stunts like you did yesterday, at least wear a wet suit, flippers and a snorkel nest time you do it.

You could model swim wear with your perfect figure; how many of your fair weather YT followers are still contacting you? None I bet. And I've heard that YT keeps most of the advertising revenue that might be generated on your site? 10 years is all you've got left to maximise your earning potential unless you stand to inherit money and property from your parents? You have to stay positive and practical in this world or else you'll get sucked under like it's happened to me despite my best efforts. I think Corgis would be nicer than an old greyhound; but who am I to venture an opinion? Nobody that's who.
