Greeting to all Post Solstice Pagans,<br>
<br>
For everyone who missed seeing the sun rise on the Solstice it is
now the meteorological season of summer - really. <br>
Thanks to Adam, another double swim weekend, with a camp at our new
favourite location, Carmel College, is scheduled for the weekend of
Saturday 30th June - Sunday 01st July.<br>
And as compensation for the disappointing Solstice there will be an
- almost - full moon to howl at.<br>
<br>
You're welcome to come to either or both swims and camp or not as
you feel inclined. The camp site does not have any facilities, bar
access to a loo, so please come prepared for a degree of self
sufficiency. We will be barbecuing on Saturday night so bring food
and drink for yourselves and/or to share. The camp site is on the
river and we hope - weather permitting - to have an evening
dip/midnight swim by the light of the moon. The camp site is also
the Saturday egress and Sunday ingress point for the swims. <br>
<br>
<b>Please let me know if you intend to camp.</b> (You may want to
arrive early to pitch tents before the swim and will need directions
to the pitches.) (There is also a possibility for a Friday and/or
Sunday camp for those that might want to do catch up swims.)<br>
<br>
<b>Saturday 30th June 2:00pm Carmel College</b> - <b>Shillingford
to Carmel - 4.83km</b> (Approximately swim 39 and 40 in the <i>I
<span>♥ the Thames</span></i> book)<br>
<br>
We will meet at Carmel College on the hard standing (Where we
rendezvoused for the last camp) at the point indicated by the green
arrow (OS 461052,187668) at 2pm:<br>

<br>
Please approach Carmel College along the road marked on Google maps
as Constitution Hill. This is the turning off the A4074 Oxford to
Reading road just before/after the B4009 turning to Goring.<br>
<br>
We will then shuttle up to the bus stop opposite the Benson Cafe and
depart from there at 2:30pm for a 1km walk to the Shillingford entry
point:<br>
