Dear all -

Following one of the OSS Oxon regulars, a couple of us have decided that we will swim at least once every month over 2011. Having braved January - here is the plan for February:

We, Sef, Jeremy, Pam and Lindsay are meeting for a swim at Mapledurham, Purley, Nr. Reading, on Sunday 6th February 2011 at 11:00am. If you would like to join us you would be very welcome. Let me know if you are thinking of coming or alternatively just turn up on the day.
Park at Mapledurham Lock but on the Purley housing estate side off the A329 Oxford Road, (somewhere around the junction of Wintringham Way and Colyton Way):

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Wintringham+Way+reading&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=19.59576,39.506836&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Wintringham+Way,+Purley+On+Thames,+Reading+RG8,+United+Kingdom&ll=51.480608,-1.041255&spn=0.020099,0.038581&z=15

We will then walk down Mapledurham Drive towards Mappledurham lock (No access for cars) to the river and then upstream (turn left at river) as far as "Thames Beach", more or less as we feel fit, and then swim back to the lock. Hopefully the lock cafe will be open for hot drinks when we get out and after that we can repair to a pub.

Drop us a line if you have any questions.

Usual terms and conditions apply!
