For years, British bathers have looked longingly at cities like Oslo and Helsinki with their buoyant waterfronts offering swim spots and saunas. Why, oh why, with our long, dark, cold winters, do we not have such distractions to warm the soul and lift the spirits?
Well, now we do, thanks to Wyld sauna which has pitched up permanently at Princes Dock in Liverpool. This Finnish-style floating sauna seats 30, has access into the sea, two ice baths, cold barrels and heated and unheated outdoor showers. Views from a giant picture window take in shiny skyscrapers clean, spacious waterways which have been granted an ‘excellent’ rating by the Environment Agency thanks to four oxygen pumps and regular testing.
