Having completed swims 8, 9, 10 and 11 over three tiring days last week I'm looking to continue my catch-up with swims 12 and 13 on Friday 23rd, just in time for swim 14 the following day. In view of the falling temperature of the water (I got pretty cold, as well as knackered, doing swims 9 and 10 in one day) I'm proposing to have a leisurely warm-up lunch at B Hythe after swim 12 and before swim 13. Sef has kindly offered to swim no 13 with me, Ann Chance might be doing no 12 and Mary Gill is possibly interested in both. If anyone else out there is interested, my proposed timetable is as follows:
11.00am Start walking from The Ferryman at Bablock Hythe back to Appleton (2.45k) (OR if other cars available, shuttle cars to Appleton)11.45am - 1.15pm Swim no 121.30pm onwards: Hot soup and coffee (or something similarly light but hot) at the Ferryman (last orders for food about 1.50)3.00pm Start to move off, nice and warm3.30pm Meet Sef at Pinkhill to shuttle cars back to Ferryman4.00pm - 6.00pm Swim no 13 to Pinkhill6.30pm Go home! Any other takers? I'd be delighted. I ought to say my swimming speed isn't fast (2k an hour) - and that the water temperature is fast becoming very brisk! Peter
