will be a little longer(~4.5km) than recent ones but there will be options to
get out early. Access to the river is a little tricky around here so we'll park
near the finish and shuttle to the start.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Bridge <a href="http://g.co/maps/cuxtq">http://g.co/maps/cuxtq</a> , the car
park is not free so bring some change, we should get away with paying for 3
hours. Faffing will commence at 10:30 but it will end at 11:00 when we will all
be rubbered up and take 2/3/4 cars to the start at Radley boat house, there
isn't space for many cars here. We'll leave our dry clothes at Abingdon Bridge
car park.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

our right with a pit stop(or early exit) at 2.5km just after the railway
bridge. Then we'll aim to swim on to Abingdon lock, there looks like another
early get out option at <a href="http://g.co/maps/hmfr4">http://g.co/maps/hmfr4</a>
. There are fairly obvious paths from these get out points back to the Abingdon
Bridge car park but you'll need to walk them in your swimming kit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
