Re: [OSS Oxon] Possible early evening swim, Tuesday 9 August
Pauline McCracken and I are going to do swim 4 on Sunday this weekend. We plan to leave Winchester at 9am, go to the finish point at the footbridge at Inglesham to leave stuff and then go up to the start at Hannington Bridge where we will stock up on coffee and cake. I anticipate that we will not be at the bridge until at least 10:30am- possibly a bit later as the walk to the finish at Inglesham is quite long. My husband is driving us so we only have one car. My phone number is 07845 227573 and home phone number is 01962 863826. Please use latter until Sunday. I know that they did not have lunch last time and were utterly exhausted as it is 3.5 miles. I suggest that we might try to get lunch by starting early enough. Jeremy has suggested The Trout where we camped or The Riverside pub which is closer - just next to the h'penny bridge. He says that, in the spirit of trying all the pubs on the Thames, that might be worth a go? Please let me know if you are joining us. I am a 40 minute miler and Pauline is faster. This swim has quite a lot of wading but i could always bring my training fins and swim faster when we can swim if i am the slowest. pam Below are some maps which Jeremy sent me to help us.
