Sunday's swim till the river conditions improve. The flow
at Maidenhead has been above the 140m^3 for several weeks
and shows no sign of slowing in the next couple of days.
This is well above my 100m^3 max rule of thumb and local
spies have confirmed the conditions as too severe. I'll
create a new event once the conditions improve but given
peeps likely Christmas plans this will probably be in the
New Year.</span></span></big></h5>
