Summertime and the living is easy Tra la la - come and join us for a lovely swim in the Thames from the beautiful rural Shifford Lock to the metropolis that is Newbridge and the Rose Revived. A mere 4.5km if you swim, like some of us, in a bit of a zig zag fashion - only 4.25km if you swim as straight as a die.

*We'll meet at 10:30am at the Rose Revived car park on Sunday 27th July 2014**here:*

and we'll either walk or shuffle up to Shifford Lock, flop into the water and float, bob, or swim a bit seriously down to the Rose Revived. Under the grade 2 listed new bridge - 14th century and new 'cos it was built after Radcot - at the confluence of the Windrush and exit elegantly on the left on to the terrace of the Rose Revived to the applause of the drinkers.

For those that want to shuffle a car we have an exciting alternative to the Chimney Meadows car park . . . .
