Hi all We're having a swim tonight from the French Horn at Sonning Eye, meeting 6pm outside the French Horn pub, swimming towards St Patrick's Stream near Shiplake, which is about a mile; but there are places to get out and walk along the Thames Path if you'd like a shorter swim. We're planning to leave cars by the French Horn, and walk back along the Thames Path, so shoes are advised. Also, most of the exit points involve some clambering through greenery.
Sorry for the short notice, but this was quite a last-minute arrangement, concocted on the newly-started OSS Reading Area and Thames Valley Swimmers email group. :)
cheers, Helen
Here's the French Horn: the blue squiggle shows where there are some free parking spaces, the yellow squiggle shows where we can enter the water.
