Yesterdays Swim at Kelmscott
by James 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

We Swam Kelmscott to Grafton lock yesterday (River Thames) with a few friends and walking back, bumped into another group of swimmers. For those that know who these were (or if that is you) - Shifford Lock (at Chimney Meadows) to Newbridge was the swim one of us shouted at you from the bank. http://tinyurl.com/mne54d This gives you the complete swim ...we did one weekend (with Lunch in between). It is about 1.5 to 2 hours swim at a gentle pace and if you make it a Sunday swim you can book ahead for a post Sunday Lunch when you finish. Makes it less of a bind for those that are drivers and not swimmers as they can wait in the pub. It's a relatively remote swim in terms of civilization, so if you go make sure you can swim for that period of time or don't mind dragging yourself out and walking along the path. Oh and if you haven't been, the Rose Revived Pub is better than the Maybush Pub (Maytime?) which are on either side of the bridge. You can get out before or after the bridge very easily.

Winter swim solstice social

Hello swimmers, It's such a lovely day haha that I thought I might think up a winter swim. It might depend on the weather, but I'm going to hazard *Sunday 12th December at 11.30 *as an option. If you want to join, meet at the carpark of the Trout Inn, Oxford http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Perch+Inn,+Ox… We can have a meander up the towpath and swim back down to the pub for some warming beverages. Any watchers and walkers would as always be welcome, for their wonderful support and also their carrying properties. We can make it as long or short as we feel like - there are a number of places that are fine for getting in and out. Please e- me back if you think you are coming so I have an idea of numbers. I also reiterate that it is subject to the weather. If it looks to be an awful blizzard or potentially too too cold, then I will suggest we don't go, although you are free to do as you please! Please check e-mails in advance before you set off! And don't forget this Saturday is the OSS Winter Dip at Parliament Hill Lido. http://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/index.php?p=events&s=&id=47 Sef ------------------------------------------------- Usual terms and conditions apply: ------------------------------------------------- Please note that OSS Oxon exists to put swimmers in touch with other swimmers, not to organise swim events or in any way suggest that outdoor swimming is a safe activity or that you should go swimming.
