Colin,

<div>
I reckon you were just confused. The Radcot section is one of the clearly eastward more predominantly eastward sections of the Thames. If you swam the same direction along the river as most of us you were certainly eastbound! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I agree it was another good swim, and for once in good weather for a change.</div>

Another great swim today! I seem to have got a bit burned despite the sunscreen! GPS track below. It’s a bit off course to start with – probably because I forgot to turn it on until just before we got in and it didn’t have a good lock.</p>
