All being well I'm planning on coming to this as a first trip out with
OSS Oxon. I live in Wantage if anyone else is in the area and wants to
lift share.<br>
One question - typically when I swim I arrive back at where I've left
my kit. Is it reasonable to expect someone will be prepared to carry a
pair of sandals<br>
down to the finish and if not how else to avoid hopping barefoot back
to the start.<br>
<br>
Sorry if this seems rather naive!<br>
<br>

and a few others are planning to swim at Clifton Hampden on the morning
of Saturday 21st August. Meet in the car park opposite the Barley Mow
pub (south of the bridge on the road towards Long Wittenham) between
0800 and 0815 hrs. See map:

<div> We can decide on the exact plan on the day.
We could swim up towards Clifton Lock and back, or (pleasanter)
down-river as far as people want and either swim or walk back,
depending on time, current, weather and energy. There is a good range
of potential getting-out points downstream. Unless someone wants to
swim down river to Days Lock at Little Wittenham (I don't think I will,
it's over 2.5 miles I think!), it isn't possible to leave cars at both
ends.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Non-swimming partners and friends who fancy a
morning stroll along the river bank watching us swim will be more than
welcome, especially if they are willing to carry a few items of kit to
swimmers' getting-out points. </div>
