Dear Swimmers<br>
?<br>
Here are the details for swim 27 on Sunday 17th.?? The information is<br>
also on Facebook and on the OSS website.<br>
?<br>
Hope to see lots of you there<br>
?<br>
Pam<br>
?<br>
All right, you ?orrible lot?<br>
Stand to attention when I?m speaking to you especially the tall one at<br>
the back.<br>
Scary Staff Sergeant Jones here, briefing you on the next yomp down the<br>
Thames on Sunday 17th June 2012.??? (Those of you who are actually<br>
awake will notice that this has been changed from Saturday 16th<br>
evening).?? This will be about a 3 mile swim (4.8 km in new money).?<br>
There will be getting out places up to 1.5 miles and then at 2.7 miles.<br>
Swim 27 Executive Summary:?<br>
We will meet at 10:15am at the very latest to change, team briefing<br>
will be at 10:35am and we will shuttle at 10:45am to a layby to walk to<br>
Days Lock hoping to be in the water by 11:15am.?? ?There will be a<br>
refreshment stop about half way.? We will have iron rations at the<br>
hotel after the swim. Please let me know by email without fail if you<br>
do want lunch.?<br>
Meeting Point 10:15 at the very latest:? Shillingford Bridge Hotel<br>
<a href="http://goo.gl/maps/ypY9" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/maps/ypY9</a><br>
We can park in the hotel car park, change and organise shuttle<br>
cars/personnel carriers.?? Leave all your dry clothes in a vehicle that<br>
is staying at the hotel. If you are late, we will have gone so please<br>
meet us at the layby or walk up stream to meet us.<br>
Team briefing? 10:35:<br>
Safety talk and kit inspection by the Sergeant<br>
Shuttle 10:45: to the lay-by on Henley Road, Dorchester<br>
<a href="http://goo.gl/maps/iILO" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/maps/iILO</a><br>
Walk: to Days Lock (a little under 2 km)<br>
<a href="http://goo.gl/maps/VbW0" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/maps/VbW0</a><br>
Please wear appropriate foot protection for the walk.? If you need<br>
these carried, please wear really light flip flops or some such (Army<br>
boots forbidden).? There will be a couple of bank supporters to carry<br>
your (very light) footwear back.<br>
Days Lock is the main gauging station for measuring the flow of water<br>
in the Thames.? Overlooking the lock is Little Wittenham church.?? Twin<br>
hills rise above the church which are known locally as Mother Dunch?s<br>
Buttocks or locally as Berkshire Bubs? (from I Never Knew That About<br>
The Thames by Christopher Winn).<br>
Swim:? Swims 37 and 38 and a little bit of Swim 39 from Michael<br>
Worthington's?<br>
I ? the Thames<br>
We will still have to be vigilant. There will be great deal of rain<br>
this week.? The river may be fast-flowing and we will have to be<br>
sensible about safety. Please be prepared to stay in groups.<br>
Possible pit stop and final getting out spot before Shillingford Bridge<br>
<a href="http://goo.gl/maps/o0Xw" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/maps/o0Xw</a><br>
Here?s hoping that the NAAFI have baked cakes etc.? Angelina Ballerina<br>
will not be with us as it is her Birthday.?? Happy Birthday,<br>
Angelina.?? However, we can celebrate Neil?s birthday which was earlier<br>
this week.<br>
Getting out:? at or after Shillingford Bridge<br>
You can get out immediately after the bridge on the left (if you do you<br>
will be on a charge)<br>
<a href="http://goo.gl/maps/tNq2" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/maps/tNq2</a><br>
or swim the final 500 metres to the correct finishing spot at<br>
<a href="http://goo.gl/maps/kS8C" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/maps/kS8C</a><br>
and walk back to the cars for changing and lunch.? Anyone not staying<br>
for lunch should leave their car at the hotel and not be a shuttle<br>
driver.???<br>
Lunch:? PLEASE LET ME KNOW WITHOUT FAIL IF YOU WANT LUNCH AND FOR HOW<br>
MANY.?? Email me or facebook message me please<br>
Lunch will be at the Shillingford Bridge Hotel. I have a menu if you<br>
would like me to email it to you.<br>
<a href="http://www.shillingfordbridgehotel.com/" target="_blank">http://www.shillingfordbridgehotel.com/</a> 01865 858 567<br>
Shillingford Bridge, built in 1827, is exactly half way between Windsor<br>
and Lechlade and between Reading and Oxford ( from I Never Knew That<br>
About The Thames by Christopher Winn).<br>
Aftermath:<br>
After lunch, we will need to get the shuttle car drivers back to the<br>
layby.? Marks will be awarded for standard of kit, attitude, fitness,<br>
response to instructions etc.? Remember that the Sergeant is always<br>
right.<br>
