Swim at Dorchester and/or Little Stoke this eve and/or tomorrow eve (Mon 1st / Tues 2nd)
Hello, If anyone wants to join me either doing a pottering gentle breast stroke or head-down crawl then I can be at either of these two spots between 19:30 to 19:45 start - the swim would be no longer than about an hour. Temps are nice at the moment and so you can either suit-up or not. I don't have any preference which spot I go to as they are both great , both straight, deep and wide and both suit all levels of swimming. They are easy to get to, to park at and to change at as well. Dorchester on Thames http://www.multimap.com/s/OP5NAFHP This is marked where the lay-by is. Little Stoke http://www.multimap.com/s/jkX7c9vf This is where we would park - there is a track down to the 'Old Dairy' which is a 2 minute walk to the river, it's very secluded and peaceful here. If anyone wants to join me on either day let me know which you prefer, else you'll have to take pot-luck and look for my Green Polo if you turn up on the day. Either way I'll be there between those times. Only reply if you intend coming. Thanks James
Hi I should be able to do today (toddler permitting), but wouldn't be able to do tomorrow. I don't have much open water experience yet (but I have got the bug!!) Dorchester on Thames would be easiest for me to get to by that kind of time. Keep me posted. Linda James inscribed the following text on 02/08/2010 13:34:

Hello I'd be up for a swim on Tuesday evening (logged on too late for Monday!) and could give you a lift Sef. I'm not able to check email at work during the day so drop me a text if a plan evolves: 0775 3607422 and we can sort out pick up etc. It would be great if you could print out the maps aswell as I;m not able to do so at home or work either! I live in a technological black hole at the moment! Thanks, and maybe see you tomorrow.
