<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Been out to a Round Table event this evening
(riding a 4 man bicycle, would you believe !) so away from
e-mail...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Various options...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Could park at Pangbourne rec, off Thames Avenue
(for Pangbourne meadows) start swim there, go with current, get out and walk
back.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Could faff about getting cars to both ends (in the
assumption we will make it as far as Mapledurham lock - which given the
dwindling daylight these evening, I doubt, also as mentioned by Victoria it is
probably on the optimistic side of things to expect we'll manage the whole
stretch for reasons of distance and coldness.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We park at Mapledurham lock end (but on Purley
housing estate side), then walk along as far as Thames beach and swim back to
the lock.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm easy with any of these options, but I do share
Victoria's doubts over whether option 2 is practical. 1 and 3 are equally
good for me. Helen what would you prefer - walk and then swim or swim and
then walk ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Looking forward to this for tomorrow either way,
and another go at the Sonning to Shiplake stretch next week would be great
too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Helen, I share your hopes that we may get a bit of
an 'Indian Summer' (fingers crossed !)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All best wishes</FONT></DIV>

Mapledurham/Pangbourne swim,this Thursday evening</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Ah, good point. Lindsay is the one who knows this stretch.
Where are we meeting, Lindsay?
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm starting to wonder if the OSSrats email list was such a good idea, as
we're now potentially discussing swims in three places - Oxon and RATS email
groups, plus the OSS facebook pages! I thought that all the Berkshire activity
might get wearisome for people in north Oxon, though... perhaps it will get
more straightforward once all the interested parties join OSSRATS. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Cheers, and see you tomorrow I hope, Jeremy and Lindsay.</DIV>
