What ho chaps,
Top hole old swim-swam to be had this weekend. Can't be doing with the hoi-polloi though - the rest of the Human Racehttp://humanrace.co.uk/events/open-water-swimming/windsor-swim(Windsor race begins in our patch at 8am) who insist on swimming in MY river - so meet a little later than planned at *1.30pm* so the little blighters can be fished out and sent packing. Jeeves says a tip-top tiffin of fois gras, quails eggs and truffles before a swim is just the thing so fill up fellows.
*1.30pm* at the car park at *Boveney Lock *(same as last time - hopefully there'll be enough space for all the Rollers) http://goo.gl/maps/1zcEH (Green arrow marks the spot).
Toddle over to the lock and plop in, swim down past school (jolly boating weather), watch out for the old boys' bathing place - Athens we called it doncha know - ladies, eyes right:

Stop for a sing song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtXYB5cN-1k. Carry on down to Romney Lock and don't forget to tip yer hat to the old girl if the flag's up. At Romney Lock - we'll scramble out and toddle back to the start (I know! In public - in those garments! Just like the Bullingdon Club all over again). The walk's about 3.5km, so make sure you've got suitable footwear or you'll be hopping about like a loon. Dash it all, parking in Windsor's a royal pain.
Sefryn's not coming- squeamish I suppose; and Jeremy's gone Greek, so we're on our own chaps. Warm-down drinks at the Pineapple for afters. Try not to wreck the place. http://goo.gl/maps/qdiXS
