Hi all We're having a swim from the French Horn at Sonning Eye, this Wednesday, August 25th. Meeting at 6.45pm 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 (like me!).
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.

Here's a map of the swim route:

We'll be aiming to take a car to the St Patrick's stream exit point before we all start from the French Horn.
For sat-navs, the postcode of the French Horn is: RG4 6TN
So far we have 4 people, hope some more can make it!
cheers
Helen ps - weather forecast is currently good for Wednesday. :)

This swim was a blast! Thanks so much to Lindsay and James, and to David Woodward for showing me the route last time. (A tip for future Sonning swimmers - beware the Sonning rush-hour, it's a traffic bottleneck.) cheers all, Helen On 25 Aug 2010, at 15:39, Helen Roche wrote:

Hi All We are planning an exploratory swim down the Evenlode this coming Sunday (a bit like the one that was done on the Thame last month!). This will be a mixture of swimming / walking / scrambling / climbing over trees - great fun - but definitely not for first timers and less confident people or those wanting to just get their head down and swim. Worth having a wetsuit and booties (or shoes that you can wear and swim in) We are planning on meeting in Combe about 11ish Sunday morning and doing a stretch about 3km. We have yet to check out entrance and exit points so this might change slightly - we are going to check it out Saturday. There will probably also be some walking to and from these points If you are interested in joining us - please can you mail me your mobile number so I can text you final details on Saturday (we are away camping from tomorrow night so won't be on email). Thanks Laura (and Mike) _______________________________________________ OSS Oxon mailing list OSSOxon@earth.li http://www.earth.li/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ossoxon 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.
