<DIV>I'm off to Cornwall for the week, and it is also still a tad cold for me outdoor swimmingwise. Have a lovely time and see you when it is warmer! (what a lightweight - you'd never know I was from Newcastle!)</DIV>

Hi Bryn and everyone else,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm around Saturday morning, so count me in. <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13px" class=Apple-style-span>I'd opt for somewhere around Port Meadow too, either up Binsey Lane by The Peach Pub or up in Wolvercoat by The Trout pub (Can anyone with better local knowledge suggest a meet point?). J</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13px" class=Apple-style-span>ust let me know where and when and I'll be there!</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13px" class=Apple-style-span><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13px" class=Apple-style-span>Claire x </SPAN></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE>Hi Bryn,<BR><BR>I haven't had a swim for a long time as I had twwin boys in July but I live ten mins walk away from the Hotel and would love to accompany you for a dip. As James said, there are rowers on that stretch and it may be quite busy on a saturday, especially as the weather is improving and there are regattas starting but we could swim a bit further yet towards Port meadow, I've been there several times, last when I was pregnant in the summer. Let me know as it depends on how much time you have, the walk would take about half an hour but it's a lovely walk!<BR>All the best,<BR>Jenny<BR><BR>
