I'm also free next Wednesday -
Wed15Sep - and having heard so much about the Sonning stretch
would really like to do it while/if the weather
holds out.
Weekdays after work are better for me - I work in
Reading but live in the North Cotswolds so it's a bit more of a
trek at weekends.

could cancel it.) So far that weekend is also free for me.
Fingers crossed for a bit of an Indian summer... :)

Sorry! Yes, I did mean it to go to
everyone and it's just me being totally computer illiterate. I
hope you enjoy the swim if you do go on the Pangbourne stretch.
However, maybe we could do a quick Sonning swim next week? That
way we could get in a bit later as it's nearer, around 6.45, and
be out before it gets too dark. I've just bought a wetsuit and
am desperate to try it out! Anyone up for that? Monday,
Wednesday and Friday are free for me as is Saturday 18th
September in the afternoon, and Sunday 19th in the morning.
On a more positive note, I'm going to be the proud owner of a
narrowboat, beginning the long chug from rugby to reading this
Sunday. Will mean that I can offer her as a warming spot /
place for tea after swims if I've got her in the area!
oops - I didn't realise Victoria had
only sent this one to me, and not the list! Here it is, I'm
assuming you did actually intend to send to all, Victoria?
Current state of affairs is that Lindsay and I could do
Thursday evening, but Victoria can't. Any other takers for
Thursday evening?
I'll ask on Oxon list too.
cheers
Helen

Hi Helen
I can't! - sorry to be difficult. I could do Monday,
Wednesday and Friday next week after 6.45? It may be
optimistic given coldness to swim for the whole
Pangbourrne - Mapledurham Lock stretch, but we could go
from the island at Thames Beach to the Lock I would have
thought, if wetsuited. We could park at the lane at the
top of the road to the lock, walk down along the river
bank and swim back along.
See you soon - I hope!
Victoria

Hello everyone
I can't do this weekend, but the afternoon of Saturday
18th would be ok, or maybe Sunday 19th.
Alternatively, one evening?

Hi everyone
Hope the Sonning swim went well - I'd love to do
this stretch if anyone fancies it before it gets
seriously cold. Also, it would be great if we could
arrange something between Pangbourne and Mapledurham
Lock. The entire swim must be around 1.5 - 2 miles
but there is plenty of (muddy) exit points as has
been mentioned previously, and it is a very pretty
stretch of river with good parking at either end.
Any date suggestions?
I'm up for this one - how about next Saturday, the
11th? Unfortunately
the weather looks grey and rainy all week, so the
river may be cooling
fast... It did feel colder at Sonning last night
than a week
previously, my hands felt it - am thinking of
getting some gloves. But
I'm still up for more swims at the moment. :)
cheers
