Today I'll be visiting the Corryvreckan Whirlpool, often considered to be the British Isles' most dangerous waters.

On Scotland’s west coast, located in a narrow strait between two islands is The Gulf of Corryvreckan, one of the most treacherous stretches of water found anywhere around the British Isles. When there are the right tidal conditions, it becomes the thirdlargest whirlpool in the world.

During certain tidal conditions, the Corryvreckan Whirlpool can reach speeds of up to 8.5 knots (about 10 mph or 16 km/h) and can produce waves up to 9m high with its roaring sound heard miles away.

The Corryvreckan Whirlpool is most impressive during spring tides when there is a New or Full moon. At these times there is the biggest difference between low and high tides which amplifies the strength of the currents, making the whirlpool more powerful and dramatic.

Will I survive going inside the dangerous Corryvreckan Whirlpool....?

WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!
