Re: [OSS Oxon] Swim at Dorchester and/or Little Stoke this eveand/or tomorrow eve (Mon 1st / Tues 2nd)
I can do tomorrow - went to Dorchester earlier in the year so Little Stoke is a good choice for me.
(Sef, I'm coming up from Reading and live North West of Oxford so can give you a lift back. I could pick you up from Cholsey station if you got the train down.)

Hello,
OK, it seems we might be a little crowded if we get too many cars on this small lane, so a slight change of plan for where we meet up.
We'll meet here:
http://www.multimap.com/s/OTzCtMVa
At the Perch and Pike pub car park.
Once we're all here we'll car ferry back to Little Stoke and swim down to South Stoke (it's about a mile or so). Then we can have a drink at the pub. The original plan was to swim to the viaduct (about 1km) and walk back. So this way you swim more, but you walk less AND there is a pub at the end.
I'll aim to get to the Pub car park for around 19:30 but will hang about until 20:00 for late comers. The landlord is very pro-swimmer (he's done a lot of trade out of the OSS over the last year ;) ) so don't worry about getting changed in your wetsuit in the car park, it's quite normal.
