Hi - earlier is better for me, and would love to do it. But understand may be better a bit later - we could compromise and aim to meet at 6.30? Really lovely to meet a few people this morning and have a dip - looking forward to many more. Louise On 12 Mar 2011, at 15:00, Andrew Sansum wrote:

Could well be interested but won't know until later in the week. We may be off down the south coast to buy a (kayaking) wetsuit for partner.

Would not a somewhat later start be better? Sunset won't be until 18:16 and the moon might be hiding behind the dreaming spires. Given I may not be there its a bit of a cheak I know.

Hi All

Bryn pointed out this morning that next Saturday is the biggest full moon in two decades

and even better I've discovered it is full over Oxford at 18:10 and rises at 18:28.

Which makes it perfectly timed for an early evening viewing from the water!

So I'm planning to park at the Walton Well Car Park between 18:00 and 18:15, then walk up the river to our starting point this morning. Then I'll have a pleasant brief swim back to the bridge admiring the moon across Port Meadow.

If anyone else happens to be doing something similar that would be great!

Cheers Bob
